Can market capitalism deal with the greatest problems of our age? How do we navigate through the end of oil, the expansion of human population and the looming risks of climate change? If market capitalism is ill-suited for these tasks, then what kind of economics can take its place? These are amongst the most pertinent and difficult questions that can be asked of human civilisation, yet political discourse and institutional economics resolutely blinker out such fundamental reservations, instead opting to champion increasingly abstract economic growth at the centre of their policies. A Future Uncertain tackles these questions head on, and forcefully deconstructs the taboo and folklore that surrounds economic thought. This groundbreaking work applies a multi-disciplinary approach, encompassing ecology, heterodox economics, sociology and emergent currency technologies, in order to assess the global market capitalist paradigm's applicability for modern human society, and prescribe alternative thought processes for future economic frameworks.
