What causes climate change, social breakdown, rampant inequality
and the creeping spread of ubiquitous surveillance? Capitalism.
What is the only alternative to capitalism? Socialism. Socialism
cannot, however, remain static if it is going to save civilisation
from these catastrophes. In this urgent manifesto for a 21st
century left, Jeremy Gilbert shows that we need a revitalised
socialist politics that learns from the past to adapt to
contemporary challenges. He argues that socialism must overcome its
industrial origins and give priority to an environmental agenda. In
an age of global networks, digital technology and instant
communication, central government diktat and restrictions on free
speech and movement must be jettisoned. We need to control the
economy rather than let it control us - but we must do this by
empowering workers, citizens and communities to run their world
their way. It's time to take back the wealth, the services and the
platforms that our own energy has built. In the digital age, it's
time for a new socialism.
