It's often hard to imagine a world without capitalism. So let's start now!
We know that the problems we face, from climate disaster to spiralling inequality, are systematic. They're of course the result of a political order hell-bent on constant economic growth no matter the human or ecological cost. And right now, coronavirus is proving this all too well.
But what would it mean to completely transform our economic system? To go beyond projects like a Green New Deal or getting Greens elected? To completely unearth our present capitalist system?
We're thrilled to share that this Tuesday, we'll be hosting a radical online talk and Q&A with Derek Wall, former Principal Speaker of the Green Party of England and Wales, as he draws from Elinor Ostrom's theory of collective commons to tackle these enormous and critical questions.
Register now to attend!
