We Own The Future - Kate Aronoff

Descriere We Own The Future - Kate Aronoff

A stunningly original and timely collection that makes the case for socialism, American style \n \n It's a strange day when a New York Times conservative columnist is forced to admit that the left is winning, but as David Brooks wrote recently, the American left is on the cusp of a great victory. Among Americans under thirty, 43 percent had a favorable view of socialism, while only 32 percent had a favorable view of capitalism. Not since the Great Depression have so many Americans questioned the fundamental tenets of capitalism and expressed openness to a socialist alternative. \n \n We Own the Future: Democratic Socialism--American Style offers a road map to making this alternative a reality, giving readers a practical vision of a future that is more democratic, egalitarian, inclusive, and environmentally sustainable. The book includes a crash course in the history and practice of democratic socialism, a vivid picture of what democratic socialism in America might look like in practice, and compelling proposals for how to get there from the age of Trump and beyond. \n \n With contributions from some of the nation's leading political activists and analysts, We Own the Future articulates a clear and uncompromising view from the left--a perfectly timed book that will appeal to a wide audience hungry for change. \n \n Table of Contents \n \n \n Part I: Is a New America Possible? \n \n Introduction \n Kate Aronoff, Peter Dreier, and Michael Kazin \n \n How Socialists Changed America \n Peter Dreier and Michael Kazin \n \n Toward a Third Reconstruction \n Andrea Flynn, Susan Holmberg, Dorian Warren, and Felicia Wong \n \n A Three-Legged Stool for Racial and Economic Justice \n Darrick Hamilton \n \n Democratic Socialism for a Climate-Changed Century \n Naomi Klein \n \n Part II: Expanding Democracy \n \n
