'A landmark work' Brian Eno
Imagine a world with no banks. No stock market. No tech giants. No billionaires.
Imagine if Occupy and Extinction Rebellion actually won.
In Another Now world-famous economist, Yanis Varoufakis, shows us what such a world would look like. Far from being a fantasy, he describes how it could have come about - and might yet. But would we really want it?
Varoufakis's boundary-breaking new book confounds expectations of what the good society would look like and confronts us with the greatest question: are we able to build a better society, despite our flaws.
'One of my few heroes. As long as people like Varoufakis are around, there still is hope' Slavoj Žižek
