The Accidental Societist

Our lived experience should be enriched by a political and economic system that is just and fair, that strengthens the ties that bind us together as a society with shared values, and allows us to live, however we choose, safely, and secure in the provision of the essential elements of our lives; economic, human and environmental. Our current market economy was conceived in a social vacuum, when gender, race and social class rights, were denied most of the population. There was no universal franshise. We can add intergenerational rights to that list. This book explores why our market economy and politics fails to adapt as society evolves. It answers the question, if not capitalism, what? This is about far more than economics. It raises the banner for equality, rights and economic democracy. It defines what it means to be human, and the values with live by, share, and who we are as a society. It is about a reshaping of politics around a radicalised Centre and beyond, and confronting unspoken truths, laying the ground for a new paradigm.
