Anarchism and Ecology - Graham Purchase

Revolutions in Reverse: Essays on Politics, Violence, Art, and Imagination - David Graeber
Capitalism as we know it appears to be coming apart. But as financial institutions stagger and 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 cl...

Communization and its Discontents: Contestation, Critique, and Contemporary Struggles - Benjamin Noys (Editor)
