Reclaiming the Future

A Beginner's Guide to Planning the Economy

About this book

'A convincing case for socialist democratic planning as the only way to meet the needs of billions of humans without destroying the planet' Michael Roberts, economist and author of Capitalism in the 21st Century

'An engaging assessment of the most urgent problem of our generation: how to transcend capitalism in order to build a real democracy' Alfredo Saad-Filho, University of Johannesburg, South Africa, and LUT University, Finland

In a world gripped by endless crisis and climate breakdown, the demand to reshape our economic system has never been more urgent. Reclaiming the Future by Simon Hannah is a beginner's guide to planning a new economy, taking readers on a transformative journey towards a radically democratic society, where the power and control over our lives are firmly in our hands.

Decades of right-wing scaremongering has tried to consign economic planning to the dustbin, but the need for it is greater than ever – it might be the only thing that can save us from climate catastrophe. In this myth-busting and accessible guide, Hannah suggests the building blocks for a grassroots economy of radical abundance within planetary limits.

Simon Hannah is a writer, activist, and trade unionist. He is an assistant branch secretary in UNISON and has written several books, including A Party With Socialists In It.
