a high-tech future free from work</div>
<div class="description" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;
font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Despite the profound
crisis of capitalism and the mass mobilizations of people
around the world in response, there has been no successful
contestation of neoliberalism’s hegemony.<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em style="margin:
0px; padding: 0px;">Inventing the Future</em><span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>is a major new
manifesto that argues for a novel set of alternatives for the
future—alternatives which seek to rekindle a popular
modernity. Against the confused understanding of the high-tech
and neoliberal world by both the right and the left, this book
claims that the emancipatory and future-oriented possibilities
of our society can be reclaimed. Instead of running from a
complex future, the authors envisage a post-capitalist economy
is capable of advancing living standards, liberating humanity
from work and developing technologies which free us from
biological and environmental constraints.</div>
