Since the financial crisis of 2008 and the global popular protests of 2011, more people have begun to wonder and what's next for civilization? The economic, social, and political status quo seems unsustainable, but what can emerge to take its place? In this book, a historian examines the past and present to argue that the seeds of a more humane society are already being planted, on local and international scales. Whether they will bear fruit depends, ultimately, on grassroots initiative. Focusing on the new worker cooperative movement in the West, this study not only contains the first systematic discussion of the solidarity economy in the light of Marxist theory; it also introduces a major revision of Marxism that both updates it for the twenty-first century and illuminates our historical moment. It includes an analysis of the history of cooperatives in the U.S., showing where they went wrong and how we can correct their past mistakes. It has a case-study of the successful new worker-owned business New Era Windows in Chicago, which has been celebrated internationally for its defiance of conventional paradigms. And it shows a way out of the age-old conflict between Marxism and anarchism, arguing that both are more relevant now than they have ever been. Which is to a gradualist "revolution" is, for the first time, within the realm of possibility.

Some Christians distinguish the moral laws in the Old Testament (which must be obeyed) from the ceremonial and civil laws (which may be disregarded). Others prefer a strictly New Testament ethic. Neither option, argues Chris Wright, does justice to the Old Testament as an essential part of our Bible. In this lively and readable approach, he develops a comprehensive alternative. First, he proposes a theological, social and economic framework for Old Testament ethics. Then, in relation to contemporary issues, he explores a variety of themes: economics, the land and the poor; ecology and the earth; politics and the world of nations; law and justice; society, culture and the family; the way of the individual. Since its first appearance in 1983, Chris Wright's 'Living as the People of God' has been widely appreciated. Now fully revised, updated and restructured, it incorporates material from the author's 'Walking in the Ways of the Lord', together with new surveys of historical and contemporary scholarly approaches to Christian ethical use of the Old Testament. This fresh and accessible study will appeal to non-specialists, while the greatly expanded bibliographies will make it a useful resource for students.

With Bible verses, prayers and 40 meditations by Chris Wright and treasured, timeless nuggets from John Stott, prepare to be inspired as you contemplate the deep, life-transforming truths of the gospel: 'love so amazing, so divine demands my soul, my life, my all'

Expert Bible teaching on Numbers worded accessibly.

The long-term unemployed in the Great Depression were not the mute, passive victims of circumstance we might think. Their collective struggles for survival challenged fundamental institutions of capitalism, and in their successes and failures hold lessons for us today.

Ze wszystkich Legionów Szramy Jaghataia Khana są najbardziej zagadkowe i trudne do zdefiniowania. Zrodziła je cywilizacja, która ceni honor, szybkość oraz wręcz straszliwą lojalność. Teraz gdy galaktykę rozdarła zdrada Horusa, a obie strony najwyraźniej widzą w nich sojuszników w nadchodzącej wojnie, wciąż nie wiadomo, komu okażą się wierne. Jednak kiedy Legion Alpha przypuszcza niespodziewany i równoczesny atak na Białe Szramy i Kosmiczne Wilki, Khan musi ostatecznie zadecydować czy stanie po stronie Imperatora, czy Mistrza Wojny... a może po żadnej.
