{"product_id":"the-subsistence-perspective-veronika-bennholdt-thomsen-9781856497756","title":"The Subsistence Perspective: Beyond the Globalised Economy","description":"A product of twenty years of analysis and activism, this unique book poses a radical alternative to the current free-market industrial system. A book of history, theory and polemic, the authors show how, if we are to survive, economies must become needs-based, environmentally sustainable, co-operative and local. They explain how the current capitalist system is none of these things, is inherently unstable and is dependent on the exploitation of various marginalized groups, particularly women, and of the environment. They call instead for a new politics and economics based on subsistence and present examples of such a perspective in practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Veronika Bennholdt-Thomsen,Maria Mies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1856497755\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781856497756\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.64h x 5.36w x 0.75d","brand":"Veronika Bennholdt-Thomsen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48014070481151,"sku":"9781856497756","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a3daad3d-bf2a-4f58-9409-32429a99b31d.jpg?v=1767746543","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-subsistence-perspective-veronika-bennholdt-thomsen-9781856497756","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
