Our world order is under pressure as never before. From new authoritarian regimes in the US, Turkey and Russia, to the imminent break-up of the European Union and a social media awash with intolerance, things look set to fall apart just as abruptly as the Soviet Union did some thirty years ago. How did we get here, and what do we do now?In this searching new exploration of our crisis, Paul Mason argues that at its heart lies an attack on the idea of humanity itself. As the free-market system reduced us to two-dimensional consumers, genetics has stripped us of our belief in humans as agents of change. And now the dystopian forces of the authoritarian right are pushing the world towards a pre-modern understanding of the human being: one that aims to destroy the very concept of universal human rights, and create a new world in which we are biologically destined to form hierarchies based on ethnicity and gender, and to obey the demands of religious conformity.If these forces are not stopped, Mason warns, we will relive something even worse than the 1930s. In response, he demands a radical defence of the human being: a reinvention of humanism; a re-assertion of the universality of human rights; and a struggle for a society where biologically determined hierarchies are abolished. We have the power to imagine and design a better system. We must, Mason concludes, reach deep into the history and experience of resistance in order to be our own saviours.

The most important book about our economy and society to be published in my lifetime Irvine WelshFrom 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 In this groundbreaking Sunday Times top ten 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

Thrilling brilliant radical an admirable defence of humans against machines GuardianA passionate defence of humanity and a work of radical optimism from the international bestselling author of PostcapitalismHow do we preserve what makes us human in an age of uncertainty Are we now just consumers shaped by market forces A sequence of DNA A collection of base instincts Or will we soon be supplanted by algorithms and A I anyway In Clear Bright Future Paul Mason calls for a radical impassioned defence of the human being our universal rights and freedoms and our power to change the world around us Ranging from economics to Big Data from neuroscience to the culture wars he draws from his on the ground reporting from mass protests in Istanbul to riots in Washington as well as his own childhood in an English mining community to show how the notion of humanity has become eroded as never before In this book Paul Mason argues that we are still capable through language innovation and co operation of shaping our future He offers a vision of humans as more than puppets customers or cogs in a machine This work of radical optimism asks Do you want to be controlled Or do you want something better

O capitalismo atingiu o seu limite. Deixou de conseguir renovar-se, adaptar-se, reconfigurar-se. Mas existe uma alternativa a este sistema falido, e traz consigo uma sociedade mais justa, igualitária e sustentavel. Chama-se pos-capitalismo.Ao longo dos ultimos dois seculos, o capitalismo reinventou-se continuamente, intercalando ciclos de pujante crescimento com momentos de gravosa recesso. De todas as vezes, o sistema sobreviveu as crises e emergiu dos escombros - sempre renovado, sempre mais forte.Mas isso acabou. O capitalismo atingiu o seu limite.Paul Mason leva-nos numa incrivel viagem pela turbulenta historia do capitalismo para demonstrar como este imenso e complexo organismo financeiro e social deixou de conseguir adaptar-se as mudanças que esto em curso. Falamos das novas tecnologias de informaço e de uma revoluço profunda no modo de encarar o trabalho e as formas de produço; uma mudança irreversivel no valor do trabalho e de quem o faz. E sera esta mudança de paradigma a responsavel pela destruiço das antigas (embora ainda vigentes) concepçes de economia de mercado e propriedade privada, os fundamentos do proprio sistema.O capitalismo e um sistema falido, incapaz de encontrar soluçes viaveis para as crises que o tem atingido. Mas a alternativa existe e esta em marcha. E trara uma sociedade mais justa e igualitaria e uma economia mais sustentavel. Chama-se pos-capitalismo.Os elogios da critica:A tese acerca do pos-capitalismo merece ser amplamente lida, tanto pela direita como pela esquerda. Politicos de todas as cores devem tirar notas, bem como quem votou neles. Financial TimesPos-Capitalismo e mais que um tratado ou uma descriço do que esta a acontecer-nos a todos. Assume-se como um serviço intelectual e espiritual fundamental para a Humanidade e como um sistema de navegaço para este mundo novo que se desvela a nossa frente. E, ao mesmo tempo, um trabalho visionario e historico, e o melhor livro sobre economia e sociedade a ser publicado no meu tempo de vida. Irvine WelshMason e um grande e eloquente polemista e admiro-lhe a ambiço de escrever este livro. Reescrever Marx e bastante ambicioso, certo? The IndependentProfundamente interessante... Mason coloca as questes mais pertinentes, sem medo das respostas. Alem disso, escreve com grande vivacidade e perspicacia. No me lembro do ultimo livro que li que tivesse conseguido penetrar de forma to energica na floresta das ideias politicas e economicas. (...) Mason e um sucessor de Marx a altura. David RuncimanDepois do pos-modernismo e de outras pos-modas, Mason confronta-nos com o unico e verdadeiro pos: o pos-capitalismo. Embora todos percebamos a nossa volta os sinais agoirentos de um impasse do capitalismo global, e-nos mais dificil do que nunca conceber uma alternativa exequivel ao mesmo. Como poderemos lidar com tamanha frustraço? O livro de Mason e uma leitura irresistivel, mas esta clarividencia no devera distrair-nos: este e um livro que nos obriga a pensar!
