Reviews

'Degrowth or ecomodernism? This book offers a compelling alternative. More than a utopian ideal, radical abundance is the guiding principle of a socialist revolution already in action' -- Kohei Saito, author of <i>Slow Down: How Degrowth Communism Can Save the Earth</i> 'The crises we face—mass deprivation and ecological breakdown—cannot be resolved within capitalism. We need a pathway out. Radical Abundance delivers exactly that. If you're looking for practical steps to a post-capitalist future, don't miss this book' -- Jason Hickel, author of <i>Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World</i> 'Radical Abundance resets the terms of left debate. With its concrete, compelling, and creative embrace of class struggle as a politics of transition, it is indispensable to anyone committed to building popular power on a rapidly heating planet' -- Jodi Dean, author of <i>Capital's Grave: Neofeudalism and the New Class Struggle</i> 'A rigorously argued and radically hopeful book, which exposes the gross inefficiency of modern capitalism and shows precisely how we can begin to build societies that guarantee a good life for all' -- Grace Blakeley, author of <i>Vulture Capitalism: How to Survive in an Age of Corporate Greed</i>

He is the co-editor of the De Gruyter Degrowth Handbook (2024) and has published widely on the politics of green transitions, political theory, and political economy in academic journals and in popular outlets including The New Statesman, Sidecar, Jacobin Magazine, the Verso blog, e-flux, Rupture Magazine, and Spectre Journal. Keir Milburn is a writer, researcher, and activist. He has a background as an academic in political economy and organisational theory. His book Generation Left rovoked debate across several countries on generational political divides driven, in part, by generational imbalances in asset ownership. The book was reviewed in venues such as the London Review of Books and the New Left Review. He is an internationally recognised expert on economic democracy, the commons and Public-Common Partnerships, and is co-director of the think tank Abundance. Bertie Russell is a Marie Curie Research Fellow at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. He is an activist-researcher with a doctorate in critical geography from the University of Leeds.
