> Beyond Money: A Postcapitalist Strategy
> by Anitra Nelson 
> 
> How might a world without money operate? This book offers a lively thought experiment of a world without money. It shows how money drives political power, environmental destruction and social inequality and argues for abolishing money, rather than repurposing it to achieve a postcapitalist future.
> 
> Grounded in historical debates about money, Nelson draws on a spectrum of political and economic thought and activism, including feminism, ecoanarchism, degrowth, autonomism, Marxism and ecosocialism.
> 
> Looking to indigenous rights activism and a defence and advance of commoning, 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. 
> -----
> ‘A fascinating portal into arguments about why we need to get beyond money.’
> Harry Cleaver, Rupturing the Dialectic
> ‘If you had to choose one book to read on making the next political economy and reinventing post-capitalism it should be this one.’
> Adam David Morton, Global Capitalism, Global War, Global Crisis
> 
> ‘Nelson’s turn towards a materialist ecofeminist analysis is pure joy.’
> Ariel Salleh, Eco-Sufficiency & Global Justice 
> 
> ‘I hope that this book ... will put the abolition of money where it belongs, at the centre of radical, rebellious hope.’ (from the Foreword)
