The Day the World Stops Shopping
We are using up the planet at almost double the rate it can regenerate. To support our economies, we're told we must shop now like we've never shopped before. And whilst we can do it more responsibly, the scale of our consumption remains the biggest factor in the ruination of the planet. Yet our reliance on stuff continues to grow. But what would our world look like if we stopped? Would civilisation collapse? Would the planet's ecology be reborn? What would happen to the way we think, make products, use time, express our individuality? Would life be better - or worse? Visiting places where economies have experienced temporary shut-downs, artisan producers, zero-consumption societies and bringing together a host of expert views, this is both a deeply reported thought-experiment, a history of our relationship with consumption, and a story about the future. Our private choices are putting the world in peril. The Day the World Stops Shopping is an essential exploration of who we are and what we use, and a vision of a more sustainable world.- Shop: buecher

Imperialism In Turmoil, Socialism In Prospect (eBook, ePUB)
The year 2021 is a year of imperialism in turmoil not only in the heartlands of monopoly capitalism but also in their hinterlands, such as the underdeveloped semicolonial and semifeudal countries like the Philippines. The entire world capitalist system is stricken by the grave crises of overproduction and depression, the plunder of the environment, global heating, pandemics and the revival of the threat of nuclear war due to intensified inter-imperialist contradictions. All the fundamental problems of the capitalist system have taken monstrous proportions such as a few hundreds of billionaires owning at least 50 percent of the world's assets, the plunder and ruination of the environment, global heating, pandemics and the growing threat of nuclear war. But the proletariat and people of the world are waging anti-imperialist and democratic mass struggles in the imperialist countries and on a global scale. There are revolutionary armed struggles persevering in a number of underdeveloped countries. ... All these are the prelude to the resurgence of the world proletarian-socialist revolution.- Shop: buecher

Don't be sad no need to frown, The Slapping Man has come to town! Feel your life's a horrid trap? Just step up and take a slap! Welcome to Salvation, known to the locals as Ruination - a bawdy, ribald town where nothing is sacred except perhaps the beer, the sex and the fishing. The people who live there are villainous, perverse, and unashamedly venal: there is John, who runs the local pub, Jean Flinch whose reputation at the 'Virgin Wall' is infamous and little orphan Ernie, whose giant jawbone is both a curse and a blessing. When Ernie re-invents himself as The Slapping Man, all hell breaks loose as the locals clamor to find their own salvation by giving Ernie a good slap.
