Big challenges lie ahead for our society: increased automation of work,

and the threat of catastrophic climate change. But so, too, are the huge

possibilities presented by new technology and better ways of organising

our economy in the wake of neoliberalism’s failure. With the election

of Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader, and the extraordinary turnaround in

Labour’s fortunes in the 2017 election, the possibility has opened up to

build an economy in Britain that is radically fairer, radically more

democratic, and radically more sustainable. But we need ideas and

strategies on how to get there.

Economics for the Many,

edited and introduced by Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, John

McDonnell, features contributions from the participants in McDonnell's

New Economics conferences, including Faiza Shaheen, Barry Gardiner, Prem

Sikka, Ann Pettifor, Paul Mason, Rebecca Long-Bailey and covers topics

from housing, public ownership and fairer international trading systems

to industrial policy for the 21st century and how to tackle tax

avoidance and regional imbalances. Together, the essays in this volume

lay out the vision for a new economics; one that works for the many, not

the few.
