In Leviathan's Belly

Darko Suvin presents a critical analysis of capitalism through eleven essays, arguing that current financial turmoil signals a transition to a new regime of accumulation. He highlights the societal chaos marked by economic instability, social unrest, and systemic failures in education and security. Emphasizing the need for universal guaranteed income and improved public services, Suvin advocates for reallocating funds from banks and military expenditures to support these initiatives. His thought-provoking commentary challenges prejudices against socialist ideas, offering an alternative perspective for contemporary readers.
