The American cultural theorist Fredric Jameson once said that it is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. Accordingly, the desire for growth and the focus on economic profit have dominated our thinking for decades. Alternatives to the capitalist system are often dismissed as mere utopias. But is that really the case? Can we not connect the various counter-proposals emerging in the Global South and North to create a new vision that allows us to break free from the dead end of capitalism? In their new book, Alberto Acosta and Ulrich Brand invite us to explore these concepts and find a united vision for a fairer, better future based on their commonalities. Only in this way can we initiate a comprehensive political, socio-economic, and cultural shift and counteract the increasing commercialization.
