The Subsistence Perspective

A$39.95

Veronika Bennholdt-Thomsen

Maria Mies

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 marginalised groups, particularly women, and of the environment.

2000 | ISBN 9781875559930 | Paperback | 215 x 135 mm | 246 pp

Reviews

‘They contend that the neo-liberal globalisation process is fundamentally hostile and produces a new patriarchal subordination of women in both the undeveloped and developed worlds … a text rich in humane ideas, case studies and critical analysis.'
