In zijn nieuwe boek Tegen de tijd beweegt Ton Lemaire zich tussen verwondering, bewondering en verontwaardiging. In veertig essays biedt hij in Tegen de tijd een eigentijdse en tegendraadse beschouwing over de toekomst van onze wereld, die door verschillende bedreigingen wordt overschaduwd. Alleen een algehele omslag in ons doen en denken kan een uitweg bieden uit de problemen die onze veelgeroemde ‘vooruitgang’ heeft veroorzaakt. Ton Lemaire pleit voor een breuk met het kapitalisme, waarin ons streven naar constante groei en rijkdom pathologisch is geworden en in de nabije toekomst steeds vaker zal leiden tot toenemende ongelijkheid en uiteindelijk zelfs tot een verwoeste planeet.Met een antropologisch en filosofisch gevormde blik kijkt Lemaire naar allerlei aspecten van onze cultuur en maatschappij, zoals economie en ecologie, religie en zingeving. Hij schrijft bovendien over de tekortkomingen van de democratie, het gevaar van perfectionisme, over de bio-industrie, de ontbossing, het verlangen naar wildheid en hij wijst op de wet van de algehele fluctuatie der dingen. Ton Lemaire snijdt in Tegen de tijd, genuanceerd en wijs, gevoelige thema’s aan.

What is the future for progressive politics in advanced capitalism? With its political fortunes so low, how might the Left move forward?

These essays from leading left intellectuals - Dean Baker, Fred Block, David Coates, Hilary Wainwright, Colin Crouch, Wolfgang Streeck, Leo Panitch, Sam Gindin and Matthew Watson - reflect on the scale and nature of the task that the Left now faces and consider the following questions: (1) What in modern capitalism has brought the Left to this impasse?; (2) What role has the Left played in its own failings?; (3) What lessons can be learnt for progressive politics going forward?; and (4) What are the immediate options and how can they best be pursued?

The views and opinions expressed vary, but all offer searching insights into the task the Left now faces. All point to the intellectual and practical experience on which the Left now needs to draw as it deals with its contemporary challenges. These essays represent a major statement on the future for centre-left politics and offer a frank appraisal of the Left's current capacity to keep conservatism at bay and to strengthen radical politics again.

In the twenty-first century, new technologies should liberate us from work. Automation, rather than undermining an economy built on full employment, is instead the path to a world of liberty, luxury and happiness—for everyone. Technological advance will reduce the value of commodities—food, healthcare and housing—towards zero.Improvements in renewable energies will make fossil fuels a thing of the past. Asteroids will be mined for essential minerals. Genetic editing and synthetic biology will prolong life, virtually eliminate disease and provide meat without animals. New horizons beckon.In Fully Automated Luxury Communism, Aaron Bastani conjures a vision of extraordinary hope, showing how we move to energy abundance, feed a world of 9 billion, overcome work, transcend the limits of biology, and establish meaningful freedom for everyone. Rather than a final destination, such a society merely heralds the real beginning of history.

This volume traces the roots of the constructivist turn in the distinct (and competing) traditions of Continental and Anglo-American Western political thought. Divided into three thematic parts, these essays advance the insight that there can be no democratic politics without representation.
