Capitalism--its Nature and its Replacement by Graham Priest

Capitalism--its Nature and its Replacement by Graham Priest

Convincingly shows capitalisms role in creating current socio-economic problems. Shows how Buddhist and Marxist notions of persons are mutually complementary. Provides an analysis of the corrosiveness of top-down power structures and why they should be eliminated in a post-capitalist state.

"Although there have been a number of attempts recently to combine Buddhism and Marxism, this is the first full length systematic demonstration of how these two perspectives are complementary and can mutually supplement each other to guide the political praxis that would create a more humane worldThe author skillfully inserts elements of anarchism in order to challenge the top-down political thinking that has all too often infected Marxism and presents a powerful argument for the necessity of building a bottom-up revolutionary movement that would pre-figure a post-capitalist society. Overall, the author draws on an impressive range of philosophical, psychological, and political resources to show how effective social political action requires a fundamental shift in our way of seeing and of being in the world."
