Capitalism as a system has spawned deepening economic crisis alongside its bought-and-paid-for political establishment. Neither serves the needs of our society. Whether it is secure, well-paid, and meaningful jobs or a sustainable relationship with the natural environment that we depend on, our society is not delivering the results people need and deserve.

One key cause for this intolerable state of affairs is the lack of genuine democracy in our economy as well as in our politics. The solution requires the institution of genuine economic democracy, starting with workers managing their own workplaces, as the basis for a genuine political democracy.

Here, Richard D. Wolff lays out a hopeful and concrete vision of how to make that possible, addressing the many people who have concluded economic inequality and politics as usual can no longer be tolerated and are looking for a concrete program of action.

I enjoyed the read and learnt a lot not just about an alternative structure to capitalism but why capitalism has perpetuated. It was especially interesting to understand the revolution in education, thinking and politics needed to sustain an alternative. I hope Professor Wolff narrates his books in future!

Fascinating read that offers a genuine alternative

This book itself is an essential read but marred by a very robotic sounding narrator which made it hard to get through. A shame because Richard Wolff himself is such a great speaker.

Excellent content but difficult narration

I got a lot from the book, it sets out the Worker Self Directed Enterprise model clearly and in a way that sets it in social and economic context. The analysis of the political economy of private capitalism and state capitalism/state socialism is pretty standard. The weakest elements are when Wolff attempts sociological analysis of the implications of existing capitalism (family breakdown, use of psychotropic drugs) and there’s a limited and pretty traditional take on gender roles inherent in the book. The performance is robotic and lacks any real emotional engagement with the material - monotone and flat, I struggled to concentrate on the material at points. But overall this is an important contribution to economic thought and the central idea could be transformative to the future of the planet.

An exciting concept, a dull audiobook
