About this book
A stirring blueprint for American equality, from the "breakout stars" (
The New York Times) of the young new left
Democrat, Republican -- the list of presidential candidates confirms that business is proceeding pretty much as usual.
The Future We Want proposes something different. In a sharp, rousing collective manifesto, ten young cultural and political critics dismantle the usual liberal solutions to America's ills and propose a pragmatic alternative.
What would finance look like without Wall Street? Or the workplace with responsibility shared by the entire workforce? From a campaign to limit work hours, to a program for full employment, to proposals for a new feminism,
The Future We Want has the courage to think of alternatives that are both utopian and possible.
Brilliantly clear and provocative,
The Future We Want -- edited by
Jacobin magazine founder Bhaskar Sunkara and the
Nation's Sarah Leonard -- harnesses the energy and creativity of an angry generation and announces the arrival of a new political left that not only protests but plans.
