Synopsis

The Panama Papers revelations are just the latest in a series of scandals and crises that demonstrate how capitalism goes hand in hand with inequality and corruption. With each new outrage comes a new challenge to the mantra that 'there is no alternative'. In this second edition, Richard Swift analyses the alternatives that have presented themselves through history. In critiquing what has gone before and exploring current forms of opposition he develops an inspirational manifesto for the future.

About this title

Review:

'It is exhilarating to read of the multiple possibilities that already exist and can serve as an energizing inspiration to action. Eloquent and inspirational.' Jeremy Seabrook, Red Pepper; 'Grounded in an impressive base in the literature of alternatives to capitalism and in a wide knowledge of many social movements around the world.' Ecosocialists.org; 'Richard Swift's SOS Alternatives to Capitalism makes a major contribution to changing the parameters of political debate. It helps us move beyond the pseudo-alternatives of the political mainstream and begin to work for the kind of change we can believe in without being delusional.' John P Clark, Professor of Philosophy at Loyola University, New Orleans, and author of The Impossible Community.
