      abstract = {This book argues that in recent decades an unrestrained  vampire-capitalism has emerged, disengaged from the needs  of citizens and workers, leading to a deepening of social  class, generational, gender, educational and ethnic  divisions. The author explores how our cultural obsession  with self-realization undermines our capacity for  collective action and ability to confront threats such as  climate change and the impact of the rapid advance of  technology on labour. Drawing on sociology and political  economy as well as worldwide case studies, the chapters  interrogate how we arrived at these dilemmas and how we  might escape them through establishing alternative social  economies. Vampire Capitalism will be of interest to  students and scholars across a range of disciplines,  including sociology, social theory, globalisation studies,  development studies, political economy, geography, politics  and social policy. .},
