Beyond market dystopia : new ways of living connecting with and going beyond classical socialist themes, the essays in this 56th annual volume of the 'Socialist register' combine analysis of the server contradictions of neoliberal capitalism in which we are living now with plans and visions for new strategic, programmatic, manifesto-oriented directions for alternative ways of living. Fourteen original essays locate such utopian visions and struggles in the dystopian present.-- Book cover
