Description

This is an all-important collective e-book edition of an extended dialogue with libertarians, socialists and leftists, all over the world on the contemporary demise of the Left and the hope of the liberatory project of Inclusive Democracy in a context of enormous concentration of power, political, economic, social by the elites through the system of the internationalized market economy and the representative "democracy" and the secondary hierarchical structures.

This fruitful dialogue addresses some questions about the feasibility of an anti-systemic project, the dead ends of the reformist/non-systemic proposals and tries to answer to the doubts about the need of a radical change in the social structures and values "from below" like these proposed by Inclusive Democracy.

This is a special issue for Winter 2009 published by the International Journal of Inclusive Democracy
