In this talk Simon Hannah will give an overview of his recently published book “Reclaiming the Future. A Beginner’s Guide to Planning the Economy”. The book aims to introduce a general audience to the ideas of and necessity for ecosocialism and democratic economic planning for combatting the unfolding climate catastrophe. We will also discuss the role of introductory books like it in the literature ecosystem on democratic economic planning, which remains largely dominated by specialist academic research. What role do they play in popularizing these ideas among the wider public and the left? What challenges come with that and how can they be tackled effectively?
