Description

'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



About the Author
Yanis Varoufakis is an economist, political leader and the author of numerous bestselling books: Talking to My Daughter: A Brief History of Capitalism; Adults in the Room, a memoir of his time as finance minister of Greece; an economic history of Europe, And The Weak Suffer What They Must?; and Another Now: Dispatches from An Alternative Present. Born in Athens in 1961, he was for many years a professor of economics in Britain, Australia and the USA before he entered politics. He is co-founder of the international grassroots movement DiEM25 and a Professor of Economics at the University of Athens.

Reviews
Combining a provocative thought-experiment with a deeply original sci-fi narrative, this book is both visionary in its search for new possibilities and realistic in its embrace of the complexities of our human nature -- Alfonso Cuaron, Oscar-winning Director of Roma and Gravity
A landmark work ... 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
I am enjoying Yanis Varoufakis's Another Now. The way we live is not inevitable -- Jeanette Winterson
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
From @yanisvaroufakis' sf novel ANOTHER NOW, the absolute best description of the scam of #InvestmentBanking I've ever read * Cory Doctorow on Twitter *
There is something exciting, even invigorating, about envisioning this world alongside Varoufakis ... one finishes Another Now buzzing with a sense of possibility * The Monthly *
Another Now is structurally, ideologically and linguistically an extraordinary work -- Zoe Williams
I've absolutely loved reading [Another Now] ... the second I started reading it, it surprised and intrigued me -- Matthew Taylor, RSA
Another Now is not only a marvellously good read - it is a notable addition to the literature of social change * The Wire *
The reason Varoufakis seems to have captured the imaginations of so many is that his words about the European crisis speak universal truths about democracy, capitalism and social policy * Guardian *
One of my few heroes -- Slavoj Zizek

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
