In her first book Stolen: How to Save The World from Financialisation, author and economics commentator Grace Blakeley argues that we are living through the death of an old economic order based on the failed economic policies of the 20th century. As Western countries struggle to manage the rise of right-wing extremism from within and the threat of extinction from without, it is now easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. The alternative to the bleak future this portends is a radical move towards democratic socialism, which Blakeley argues offers us the chance to free ourselves from the financial imperatives that have determined our lives for more than half a century, and that can avert our current course towards self-destruction.
