POSTCAPITALISM: A GUIDE TO OUR FUTURE
Book ID/图书代码: 00200012B56238
English Summary/英文概要: We know that our world is in the process of seismic change – but how can we emerge from the crisis a fairer, more equal society?
Time and again, for hundreds of years, capitalism has proved its resilience, weathering major and social crises only to emerge transformed and reinvigorated. But, says Paul Mason, we are living in a moment of change so profound – a moment in which ways of earning money, the basic technologies of daily life, forms of property ownership are being transformed – that the nature of capitalism itself is about to transform into something wholly new.
In this groundbreaking book, Paul Mason takes us on a panoramic tour of capitalism itself. He explores how past societies, when confronted with periods of crisis, have collapsed or changed, and provides a powerful critique of why our present system of financial capitalism has failed us. Most of all, he shows how, from the ashes of the crisis, we have the chance to create a more socially just and sustainable economy. While the dangers ahead are profound, he argues, there is cause for hope. This is the first time in human history, says Mason, in which, equipped with an understanding of what is happening around us, we can predict and shape, rather than simply react to, seismic change.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 全球经济危机与21世纪气候环境危机、能源危机以及地缘政治危机的同时发生或许只是为更为系统的资本主义世界经济危机爆发埋下伏笔,尽管先前关于后资本主义社会经济的各种尝试均以失败告终,然而目前我们却可以看到另一种经济形式逐渐展露出无限可能,这个全新的经济形式建立在信息技术,科技的迅猛发展以及社会公平分配的基础之上,兼具社会公平与可持续发展性。正如经典的马克思主义一样,在这全新的经济形式中也有一个社会承担者,相应的法律与政治需求将应运而生,但他们不是无产阶级者,他们是由信息技术、医学发展所培养出,并随着全球新贵们的崛起而诞生的自由、独立、充满力量的全新一代。(DC)
