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. Almost unnoticed, in the niches and hollows of the market system, whole swathes of economic life are changing.. Goods and services that no longer respond to the dictates of neoliberalism are appearing, from parallel currencies and time banks, to cooperatives and self-managed online spaces. Vast numbers of people are changing their behaviour, discovering new forms of ownership, lending and doing business that are distinct from, and contrary to, the current system of state-backed corporate capitalism.In this groundbreaking 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. Moving beyond capitalism, he shows, is no longer a utopian dream. This is the first time in human history in which, equipped with an understanding of what is happening around us, we can predict and shape, rather than simply react to, seismic change.

The real life chronicle of a crazy quest, an epic hitchhiking trip, way back when...A trip taken without preparation or proper funds, from England, through Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, to India.*Paul Mason was just 18 years old when the notion of visiting India stirred in him. In order to find money for his travels he began selling off his possessions, but not being able to raise enough ready cash for the flight, he decided instead to hitchhike there, and in this seemingly hare-brained scheme he was accompanied by Yolanda, his Italian girlfriend. Their journey wasn't envisaged simply as a vacation or an adventure, but as a quest, an exploration of both inner and outer life, even as a pilgrimage of sorts, which, totally unexpectedly, resulted in the discovery and exploration of authentic Yoga Meditation.*324 pages, with dozens of illustrations
