'A fascinating portal into arguments about why we need to get beyond money' - Harry Cleaver

What would a world without money look like? This book is a lively thought experiment that deepens our understanding of how money is the driver of political power, environmental destruction and social inequality today, arguing that it has to be abolished rather than repurposed to achieve a postcapitalist future.

Grounded in historical debates about money, Anitra Nelson draws on a spectrum of political and economic thought and activism, including feminism, ecoanarchism, degrowth, permaculture, autonomism, Marxism and ecosocialism. Looking to Indigenous rights activism and the defence of commons, an international network of activists engaged in a fight for a money-free society emerges.

Beyond Money shows that, by organising around post-money versions of the future, activists have a hope of creating a world that embodies their radical values and visions.

Reviews for Beyond Money: A Postcapitalist Strategy

'Outstanding ... a highly original and incisive analysis of the crippling role that money plays in today's global capitalist world' -- Mike Berry, author of 'Justice and Democracy' 'A fascinating portal into arguments about why we need to get beyond money' -- Harry Cleaver, author of '33 Lessons on Capital: Reading Marx Politically' 'A book for our time. Anitra Nelson takes us from theory to praxis in clear steps. Nelson's turn towards a materialist ecofeminist analysis is pure joy' -- Ariel Salleh, author of 'Eco-Sufficiency & Global Justice: Women Write Political Ecology' 'Takes monetised economies head-on, demonstrating how they exacerbate ecological devastation and socio-economic inequality, and provides examples and pathways towards non-monetary economies based on real values. Does a great service to movements seeking social and ecological justice for all humans and other life forms' -- Ashish Kothari, founder of Kalpavriksh and co-editor of 'Pluriverse'
