      abstract = {Britain faces huge challenges: inequality, public services  under constant pressure, climate change - and in the long  term, the impacts of automation and artificial  intelligence. At the same time, the political and economic  elite seem to have reached an impasse: there is a sense  that things can only get worse. In Why Capitalists Need  Communists, Charles Seaford demonstrates that this need not  be, that radical, progressive change is perfectly possible  and that the polarisation and nostalgia afflicting us is  not inevitable. History shows that it is precisely when the  ruling elite loses confidence - which it has - that  significant change happens and that new alliances are  formed to take over. Tackling the challenges will take  planning, redistribution, re-fashioned business and  finance, and a new ideology - one which confirms that we  really can create the conditions for more people to  flourish. But this is not a pipe-dream. This book sets out  just how this can come about, based on interviews with over  50 business people, politicians, analysts and activists.  Everyone with an interest in the future should read it.  Charles Seaford is a co-investigator at the Centre for  Understanding Sustainable Prosperity, UK, and was formerly  Head of the Centre for Wellbeing at the New Economics  Foundation.},
