| Summary |
"Capitalism is committing suicide, and threatening to take us down with it. But will it give way to a grand social utopia or the beginning of a new wifi-enabled dark age? The Worst is Yet to Come explores the disturbing possibility that the current crisis of neoliberal capitalism may spawn a world that is much, much worse. If our grandchildren are to survive the implosion of capitalism - for the chances we will are fairly slim - then a realistic picture of the nightmare to come is crucial. Only an unwavering attitude of "revolutionary pessimism" will help us to prepare accordingly. For the apocalypse will almost certainly be disappointing." -- Back cover. |
