Anti-capitalism is a diverse movement: critics accuse it of knowing what it is against, but not knowing what it is for. Anti-capitalists want radical change, but what shape should that change take?<br><br><br><br>The truth is that different sections of the movement advocate distinct---sometimes complementary, sometimes contradictory---programmes for change. This book concentrates on perhaps the most divisive issue of all in the anti-capitalist struggle: how to transform the economy.<br><br><br><br>There are greens who think we must hold back economic growth and Marxists who believe the economy must move forward along capitalist lines before there can be revolutionary change; there are those who remain faithful to notions of collective or state ownership of all aspects of the economy, and those who think various kinds of reform or regulation of capitalist practice is more appropriate.<br><br><br><br><i>Babylon and Beyond</i> is a modern guidebook to the complicated terrain of alternatives to global capitalism. Derek Wall explains and summarises the rich variety of theories available within the anti-capitalist movement. Chapters cover Marxism, Autonomism, Anarchism, Ecosocialism, Capitalist reformers (like George Soros and Joseph Stiglitz), Green localists (like Colin Hines), and others. Unique in its coverage, clear and accessible, the book is ideal for activists, and anyone who is trying to find a useful way forward.<br><br><br><br>This book is published in association with the Green Economics Institute.<br><br></div></div> 252057 21 10 2005 Babylon and Beyond: The Economics of Anti-Capitalist, Anti-Globalist and Radical Green Movements total:2|5:1|4:1| 2 9 6 1 260055 0745323901 9780745323909 2 1 4.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173219282m/260055.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/260055.Babylon_and_Beyond_The_Economics_of_Anti_Capitalist_Anti_Globalist_and_Radical_Green_Movements 0 1 false Fri Sep 14 16:25:51 -0700 2007 Fri Sep 14 16:28:38 -0700 2007 260055 0745323901 9780745323909 2 1 4.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173219282m/260055.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/260055.Babylon_and_Beyond_The_Economics_of_Anti_Capitalist_Anti_Globalist_and_Radical_Green_Movements 5 0 false Sun Mar 08 19:35:51 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 11 16:58:34 -0700 2009 260055 0745323901 9780745323909 2 1 4.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173219282m/260055.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/260055.Babylon_and_Beyond_The_Economics_of_Anti_Capitalist_Anti_Globalist_and_Radical_Green_Movements 0 0 false Mon Mar 02 15:48:20 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 02 15:50:02 -0800 2009 260055 0745323901 9780745323909 2 1 4.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173219282m/260055.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/260055.Babylon_and_Beyond_The_Economics_of_Anti_Capitalist_Anti_Globalist_and_Radical_Green_Movements 0 0 false Sat Nov 01 20:28:02 -0700 2008 Sat Nov 01 20:28:02 -0700 2008 260055 0745323901 9780745323909 2 1 4.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173219282m/260055.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/260055.Babylon_and_Beyond_The_Economics_of_Anti_Capitalist_Anti_Globalist_and_Radical_Green_Movements 0 0 false Sat Feb 23 04:34:04 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 23 04:34:04 -0800 2008 260055 0745323901 9780745323909 2 1 4.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173219282m/260055.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/260055.Babylon_and_Beyond_The_Economics_of_Anti_Capitalist_Anti_Globalist_and_Radical_Green_Movements 4 0 false Fri Oct 19 07:44:11 -0700 2007 Fri Oct 19 07:44:11 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=260055
