‘I could not recommend this more. If you’re looking for a sense of optimism, a sense of political possibility, this book is very important’ Owen Jones

What would a fair and equal society actually look like?

Imagine a world with no banks. No stock market. No tech giants. No billionaires.

In Another Now world-famous economist, Yanis Varoufakis, shows us what such a world would look like. Far from being a fantasy, he describes how it could have come about – and might yet. But would we really want it?

Varoufakis’s boundary-breaking new book confounds expectations of what the good society would look like and confronts us with the greatest question: are we able to build a better society, despite our flaws.

‘A vision of a new society with new ways of thinking is possibly the most important thing an artist can offer at the moment’ Brian Eno
