This book critically engages with the proliferation of literature
on postcapitalism, which is rapidly becoming an urgent area of
inquiry, both in academic scholarship and in public life. It
collects the insights from scholars working across the field of
Critical International Political Economy to interrogate how we
might begin to envisage a political economy of postcapitalism. The
authors foreground the agency of workers and other capitalist
subjects, and their desire to engage in a range of radical
experiments in decommodification and democratisation both in the
workplace and in their daily lives. It includes a broad range of
ideas including the future of social reproduction, human capital
circulation, political Islam, the political economy of exclusion
and eco-communities. Rather than focusing on the ending of
capitalism as an implosion of the value-money form, this book
focuses on the dream of equal participation in the determination of
people's shared collective destiny.

The working classes today are facing a new set of crises around
increasing austerity, authoritarianism, exploitation, and
surveillance. But in many places, and in many ways, they are
resisting. From new forms of workplace organisation, migrant
workers challenging their exploitation, struggles against
digitalised work, and through alternative forms of grassroots
mobilisation, working-class resistance is emerging in new and often
unexpected spaces. Through a range of cases in Europe and from
around the world, this book brings radical voices from sociology,
political economy, labour relations, and media studies to offer an
understanding of the potential of working-class struggles in and
against these 'hard times'. This engaging volume is an attempt to
understand how new, dynamic sites of resistance in and outside the
workplace are central to the different ways in which workers
survive, disrupt, and create new ways of living. The perfect guide
for students and academics looking for a critical and comprehensive
collection dealing with contemporary and global cases of
working-class resistance.
