Originally published in 2012 to wide acclaim, this updated edition, Why Itʹs Still Kicking Off Everywhere, includes coverage of the most recent events in the wave of revolt and revolution sweeping the planet -- riots in Athens, student occupations in the UK, Quebec and Moscow, the emergence of the Occupy Movement and the tumult of the Arab Spring. Economic crisis, social networking and a new political consciousness have come together to ignite a new generation of radicals. BBC journalist and author Paul Mason combines the anecdotes gleaned through first-hand reportage with political, economic and historical analysis to tell the story of todayʹs networked revolution. Why Itʹs Still Kicking Off Everywhere not only addresses contemporary struggles, it provides insights into the future of global revolt. -- Publisher description

AbstractThe postcapitalism thesis asserts that open source and collaborative non‐profit organisations represent a new, non‐market sector in which the profit motive and monetary exchange no longer drive economic activity; in Marxist political economy terms, they are a new means for suppressing the law of value. Information technology has produced four systemic dysfunctions, limiting capitalism's ability to function as a complex adaptive system: the zero marginal cost effect, the tendency to delink work from wages, positive network effects, and information asymmetries. In response, in addition to the traditional remedies of social democracy for a stagnant neoliberal economic model, left parties must adopt a programme of transition: aggressively breaking up technological monopolies; promoting universal basic income and basic service solutions; outlawing rent‐seeking business models; and promoting data democracy.
