The first radical, collective manifesto of the new decade
*Shortlisted for the Bread and Roses Prize, 2013*



From the pens of major figures of the anti-austerity movement, comes the first radical, collective manifesto of the new decade.



From participatory democracy to media reform, from direct action to communal living, What Are We Fighting For is a bold look at alternatives to the economic, social and political travesty of contemporary capitalism. Chapters from Owen Jones, David Graeber, John Holloway, Nina Power, Mark Fisher, Franco Berardi Bifo and Marina Sitrin show a multifaceted but collective desire for a better world.



Anarchists, communists, feminists and autonomists come together to inspire us to think beyond neoliberalism.

Federico Campagna is a writer and activist. He is one of the founders of the journal Through Europe and contributes to a number of magazines and radio programmes in Italy and the UK. He organised the 'What are we struggling for?' conference at the ICA, London, and is the editor of Franco Berardi Bifo's forthcoming reader. Emanuele Campiglio is a Researcher at the New Economics Foundation.
