{"product_id":"decolonizing-money-julio-linares-9780745349831","title":"Decolonizing Money","description":"To change the world, we need a money revolution. Yet the debate over money has been dominated by two perspectives: free-market capitalists who want money to rule everything and those who wish the state to harness money's power. Decolonizing Money presents an anarchist theory of money that sets out strategies for collective liberation beyond state and capital. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing on anarchist, abolitionist, and anti-colonial feminist traditions, Julio Linares makes the heretical argument for a grassroots democratic movement to abolish the imperialist US dollar as a necessary step towards canceling debt and a worldwide basic income. Beyond simply a store of value and a medium of exchange, Linares shows us that money is a series of promises a society makes to itself and challenges us to make them otherwise. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This innovative book uses lessons from global history and social movements to unleash the political imagination. It shows how the creation, use, and, most importantly, destruction of money are forms of power that need to be reclaimed through direct action as part of a radical democratic project for autonomy and self-determination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julio Linares\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0745349838\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745349831\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pluto Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/20\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Julio Linares","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46140925346047,"sku":"9780745349831","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_167c318a-ce40-4897-b44e-aea0fcf91330.jpg?v=1726597426","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/decolonizing-money-julio-linares-9780745349831","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
