If not capitalism, then what? Something's not working here, and it's pretty clear what's wrong. But there's a dearth of material on what could be right—and more important, how to do it. Albert breaks through the stranglehold on this debate and lays out the vision and strategy for his revolutionary "participatory economy" idea. He argues that we have to change how we conceive of work and wages, rewarding effort and sacrifice rather than output, and restructuring work so that everyone can become involved in controlling their workplaces. From here, he moves to a proposal for how we might organize the larger functions of the economy in workers' councils and a general discussion of how our society might look with a participatory economy.

Durch die Darstellungen in Massenmedien und andauernde juristische Verfahren verengt sich das Bild der Bewegungen der Siebzigerjahre stark auf einen Konflikt: Rote Armee Fraktion (RAF) contra Staat, gelegentlich noch: die wild bewegte Jugend des heute geläuterten Staatsmannes und zukünftigen Wirtschaftsberaters. So wird die Geschichte antiautoritärer und alternativer sozialer Bewegungen marginalisiert, die für heutige Auseinandersetzungen um eine Gesellschaft ohne Ausbeutung, Unterdrückung und Krieg noch etwas beizutragen haben.

Zur Aktualität anarchistischer Klassiker wie Bakunin, Kropotkin, Gustav Landauer, Rudolf Rocker u.a.

Murray Bookchin has been a dynamic revolutionary propagandist since the 1930s when, as a teenager, he orated before socialist crowds in New York City and engaged in support work for those fighting Franco in the Spanish Civil War. Now, for the first time in book form, this volume presents a series of exciting and engaged interviews with, and essays from, the founder of social ecology.

Murray Bookchin gibt hier einen Überblick über die Theorien zur Sozialen Ökologie und einer kommunalistischen Umgestaltung des Gesellschaft.

Was die Menschen zu 'Fremden' der Natur gegenüber gemacht hat, sind soziale Veränderungen, die viele Menschen zu Fremden in ihrer eigenen sozialen Umgebung werden ließen: die Herrschaft des Alters über die Jugend, der Männer über die Frauen sowie der Männer untereinander.

In a series of related essays, Murray Bookchin balances his ecological and anarchist vision with the promising opportunities of a "post-scarcity" era. Surpassing Marxist political economy, which was rooted in an era of material scarcity, Bookchin argues that the tools necessary for the self-administration of society have largely been developed and, that, combined with an ecological outlook have greatly altered our revolutionary landscape.

This book asks—and tries to answer—several basic questions that affect all Leftists today. Will anarchism remain a revolutionary social movement or become a chic boutique lifestyle subculture? Will its primary goals be the complete transformation of a hierarchical, class, and irrational society into a libertarian communist one? Or will it become an ideology focused on personal well-being, spiritual redemption, and self-realization within the existing society?
