Volume 1: The Illusion of Money: Why We Need a \"System Upgrade\"","description":"\"What Comes Next?\" is a three-volume series presenting a detailed critique of contemporary capitalism. It explores the possibility of a practical alternative - a \"system upgrade\" - drawing on our innate disposition towards mutual aid. This will be a post-money society based on voluntary work and the free distribution of goods \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eVolume One looks at capitalism's origins and its multiple impacts. This system has long passed its \"sell-by\" date. Most work in today's money-based economy is socially useless. It needlessly reinforces scarcity by siphoning labour and resources away from socially useful production. Once we begin to think outside the box, a more rational and humane alternative to the capitalist money system becomes obvious - and irresistible. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe author was born in South Africa, studied anthropology and geography at University College London, and now lives in southern Spain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robin Everett Cox\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798196322372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/22\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.69d","brand":"Robin Everett Cox","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50665965453567,"sku":"9798196322372","price":16.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-comes-next-volume-1-robin-everett-cox-9798196322372","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
