Future We Want

A stirring blueprint for American equality from the breakout stars (The New York Times) of the young new leftDemocrat Republican -- the list of presidential candidates confirms that business is proceeding pretty much as usual. The Future We Want proposes something different. In a sharp rousing collective manifesto ten young cultural and political critics dismantle the usual liberal solutions to America''s ills and propose a pragmatic alternative. What would finance look like without Wall Street? Or the workplace with responsibility shared by the entire workforce? From a campaign to limit work hours to a program for full employment to proposals for a new feminism The Future We Want has the courage to think of alternatives that are both utopian and possible. Brilliantly clear and provocative The Future We Want -- edited by Jacobin magazine founder Bhaskar Sunkara and the Nation''s Sarah Leonard -- harnesses the energy and creativity of an angry generation and announces the arrival of a new political left that not only protests but plans.
