'A convincing case for socialist democratic planning as the only way to meet the needs of billions of humans without destroying the planet' - Michael Roberts

In a world gripped by endless crisis and climate breakdown, the demand to reshape our economic system has never been more urgent. Reclaiming the Future by Simon Hannah is a beginner's guide to planning a new economy, taking readers on a transformative journey towards a radically democratic society, where the power and control over our lives are firmly in our hands.

Decades of right-wing scaremongering has tried to consign economic planning to the dustbin, but the need for it is greater than ever â" it might be the only thing that can save us from climate catastrophe. In this myth-busting and accessible guide, Hannah suggests the building blocks for a grassroots economy of radical abundance within planetary limits.

Industry Reviews

'A sober and engaging assessment of the most urgent problem of our generation: how to transcend capitalism in order to build a real democracy, peace, environmental sustainability, and social justice in an ecosocialist society based on the principle of solidarity, rather than inequality and exploitation. Hannah dissects on the drawbacks of capitalism, and outlines how to build an actual, functioning socialist society on that basis. An excellent book that deserves to be read widely.'
Alfredo Saad-Filho, University of Johannesburg
'Simon Hannah presents a convincing case for socialist democratic planning as the only way to meet the needs of billions of humans without destroying the planet and other species. And it offers a political strategy for how you can fight for such a world.'
Michael Roberts, economist and author of Capitalism in the 21st Century
