In a world gripped by endless crisis and climate breakdown, the demand to reshape our economic system has never been more urgent. In this talk, based on his book, Reclaiming the Future outlines a beginner’s guide to planning a new economy, taking you on a transformative journey towards a radically democratic society, where the power and control over our lives are firmly in our hands.
Decades of right-wing scaremongering has tried to consign economic planning to the dustbin, but the need for it is greater than ever – it might be the only thing that can save us from climate catastrophe. Hannah suggests the building blocks for a grassroots economy of radical abundance within planetary limits.
