Today, when it seems like everything has been privatized, when
austerity is too often seen as an economic or political problem
that can be solved through better policy, and when the idea of
moral values has been commandeered by the right, how can we
re-imagine the forces used as weapons against community,
solidarity, ecology and life itself? In this stirring call to arms,
Max Haiven argues that capitalism has colonized how we all imagine
and express what is valuable. Looking at the decline of the public
sphere, the corporatization of education, the privatization of
creativity, and the power of finance capital in opposition to the
power of the imagination and the growth of contemporary social
movements, Haiven provides a powerful argument for creating an
anti-capitalist commons. Capitalism is not in crisis, it is the
crisis, and moving beyond it is the only key to survival. Crucial
reading for all those questioning the imposition of austerity and
hoping for a fairer future beyond it.
