If not capitalism, what?

It ain't over till it's made over. The old neo-liberal order is in severe crisis and its leaders in a state of uncertainty and even confusion. But those struggling to help a new order to be born are not prepared. Preparedeness involves organisation and popular mobilisation around proposals which defend people's living standards and livelihoods against attempts to resolve the crisis at their expense. But it is also about grasping a moment when those with power are wobbling on their back foot, and being politically bold and institutionally imaginative to build the necessary self-confidence to construct the basis of a new order as we resist. So Hilary Wainwright reports back from her investigations in theory and in practical experiments into what alternatives could provide the elements of such foundations.
