Back in August we published a post on Adam’s contribution for Scenario Magazine on Alternative Currencies and Economic Transactions and yet he’s done it again. This time our current student Adam Cowart made a book review on the recently released Postcapitalism – A Guide to Our Future by Paul Mason.

Cowart_HeadshotHe starts with an intriguing title “Liberate the 1%”, and then analyzes both, the author background and ideas, and the main argument of the book. He points out the systemic perspective and how a set of the humanity’s biggest problems today will interact with one and other in the future: automation replacing skilled labor, chronic underemployment, mass migration, aging demographics, incomprehensible debt loads and climate change. Adam concludes that it’ll be our choice how to transition from capitalism to whatever is next.

 We are very pleased to be able to feature published student work — good job, Adam!
