Randall Wray, author of \u003ci\u003eMoney for Beginners\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo change the world, we need a money revolution. Yet the debate over money has been dominated by two perspectives: those free-market capitalists who want money to rule everything, and those who want the state to harness money's power. \u003ci\u003eDecolonizing Money\u003c\/i\u003e presents an anarchist theory of money which sets out strategies for collective liberation beyond state and capital.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on anarchist, abolitionist, and anti-colonial feminist traditions, Julio Linares makes the heretical argument for a grassroots democratic movement to abolish the imperialist US dollar as a necessary step towards the cancellation of debt and establishing a worldwide basic income. Linares shows that money, beyond a store of value and a medium of exchange, is a series of promises a society makes to itself - and he challenges us to make them otherwise.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ingram","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48020818657332,"sku":"9780745349831","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/1664\/5684\/files\/IMG-1744_73a83f1c-55d1-431f-85ad-d7b6a18d891a.png?v=1783788246","url":"https:\/\/waronbooks.com\/products\/decolonizing-money-the-promise-of-abolishing-the-us-dollar","provider":"War On Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
