'This book is the brilliant light and the compass we need, not just to save the planet but to make the world anew' Robin D. G. Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams
'From Kerala to Mondragón, these stories of solidarity, commons, and planetary care show that another post-capitalist future is not just possible, it's happening' Kohei Saito, author of Marx in the Anthropocene
Capitalism's crisis is planetary. It is a system upending nature and society, causing many to live and work in despair. So far, the orthodox left has been incapable of inspiring an effective challenge to it. In Worker Cooperatives and Deep Democracy, Vishwas Satgar and Michelle Williams map a new transformative politics arising from inspiring examples of collectively owned and managed solidarity economy cooperative systems that advance planetary care from below and which have the potential to erode, tame and exit capitalism. Based on over a decade of research across 15 countries, the authors examine case studies that explore transformative approaches to social reproduction, public power, nature and territorial expansion in opposition to power structures.
They also uncover the power of the commons and solidarities engendering emancipatory, utopian imaginaries in the global north and south. They show how, against all the odds, people are experimenting with deep democracy and building systems of care to engender a future beyond our era of crisis.

Michelle Williams is Professor of Sociology at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. She is the co-author (with Thomas Isaac) of Building Alternatives, and the co-editor (with Vishwas Satgar) of Destroying Democracy.
