Keith Mosman: Powell's Picks Spotlight: Sidik Fofana's 'Stories from The Tenants Downstairs' (0 comment)
I was a theatre major, and like most theatre majors, I: 1. Insist on spelling “theatre” with an “re” and 2. Don’t actually make theatre any more (and even seeing any plays in performance during the last few years has been a challenge for well-documented, world-historical reasons)...

Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis

It is quite normal to feel frustrated and sorrowful about aspects of modern capitalism, but realistic hope of change can seem either utopian or demented. In fact, the way that capitalism works is inherently open to alteration and improvement. This is because the problems of capitalism are, in their essence, not about money, law or politics, but about human psychology - the field of expertise of The School of Life. As this hugely original essay argues, the path to a better sort of capitalism starts with a clear-eyed understanding of our emotional functioning and the workings of our psyches.

Synopsis

A revolutionary, yet utterly practical blueprint for a wiser and better kind of capitalism.

It is quite normal to feel frustrated and sorrowful about aspects of modern capitalism, but realistic hope of change can seem either Utopian or demented. In fact, the way that capitalism works is inherently open to alteration and improvement. This is because the problems of capitalism are, in their essence, not about money, law or politics, but about human psychology--the field of expertise of The School of Life.

As this hugely original essay argues, the path to a better sort of capitalism starts with a clear-eyed understanding of our emotional functioning and the workings of our psyches.

Synopsis

A hopeful, revolutionary blueprint for a better kind of capitalism.

When faced with the sorrows and frustrations of modern capitalism, it can often seem
like alternatives are utopian and out of reach. But capitalism is inherently designed to be altered and improved upon. The problems of capitalism, this book argues, stem not from money, law, and politics, but rather from human psychology.

In this practical and insightful essay, the path to a better version of capitalism starts with a clear-eyed understanding of our psychological and emotional functioning.
