Summary: "After Capital traces the history of our present to show that the confluence of crises affecting the economy, climate change, resource depletion, the destruction of environments and increasing inequalities is inherent in capitalism. Venn takes the reader from liberalism to neoliberalism to identify private accumulation, dispossessions, subjugations and the model of ceaseless growth at the root of crises. The book proposes postcapitalist societies founded in the politics and ethics of a democratic and ecologiaclly grounded Commons"-- Back cover.
