What is Revolutions in Reverse about?
Capitalism as we know it appears to be coming apart. But as financial institutions stagger & crumble, there is no obvious alternative. There is good reason to believe that, in a generation or so, capitalism will no longer exist: for the simple reason that it s impossible to maintain an engine of perpetual growth forever on a finite planet. Yet faced with this prospect, the knee-jerk reaction is often to cling to what exists because they simply can t imagine an alternative that wouldn t be even more oppressive and destructive. The political imagination seems to have reached an impasse. Or has it? In this collection of essays David Graeber explores a wide-ranging set of topics including political strategy, global trade, debt, imagination, violence, aesthetics, alienation, & creativity. Written in the wake of the anti-globalization movement & the rise of the war on terror, these essays survey the political landscape for signs of hope in unexpected places. At a moment when the old assumption about politics & power have been irrefutably broken the only real choice is to begin again: to create a new language, a new common sense, about what people basically are & what it is reasonable for
