'Mutual aid, solidarity and commoning become most visible during periods of deep crises. This book inspires us all on the path to social change.' -- Massimo De Angelis, author of 'Omnia Sunt Communia: On the Commons and the Transformation to Postcapitalism' 'These stories teach us of the enormous potential for love and resistance in a world threatened by apocalyptic capitalism.' -- Mike Davis, author of 'City of Quartz' 'In the midst of a global crisis, we must listen, learn, and build with people from around the world - the essays and insights collected here help us do just that. A crisis is a turning point, and this valuable book can serve as a guide to a better future.' -- Astra Taylor, director of 'What Is Democracy?' 'Just what we need so desperately in this moment. How we come out of this pandemic will shape the future of humanity. Now, as never before, we have to break the deadly logic of capital. A beautiful and important book.' -- John Holloway, author of 'Change the World Without Taking Power'
