''The most important book about our economy and society to be published in my lifetime'' Irvine Welsh

From Paul Mason, the award-winning Channel 4 presenter, Postcapitalism is a guide to our era of seismic economic change, and how we can build a more equal society.

Over the past two centuries or so, capitalism has undergone continual change - economic cycles that lurch from boom to bust - and has always emerged transformed and strengthened. Surveying this turbulent history, Paul Mason wonders whether today we are on the brink of a change so big, so profound, that this time capitalism itself, the immensely complex system by which entire societies function, has reached its limits and is changing into something wholly new.

At the heart of this change is information technology: a revolution that, as Mason shows, has the potential to reshape utterly our familiar notions of work, production and value; and to destroy an economy based on markets and private ownership - in fact, he contends, it is already doing so.

In this groundbreaking, Sunday Times top ten book, Mason shows how, from the ashes of the recent financial crisis, we have the chance to create a more socially just and sustainable global economy.

Industry Reviews

'This fresh and insightful book illuminates the present in unexpected, revelatory ways . . . I can't remember the last book I read that managed to carve its way through the forest of political and economic ideas with such brio . . . a spark to the imagination.' David Runciman,Guardian

'Even if you love the current capitalist system, it would be a mistake to ignore this book . . . Politicians of all stripes should take note. And so should the people who vote for them.' Gillian Tett, Financial Times

'Building on a remarkable career's worth of reporting on the frontlines of global capitalism and worker resistance, this book is an original, engaging, and bracingly-articulated vision of real alternatives.' Naomi Klein
