Hope for the Future?

In a pessimistic - or realistic - mood, it is hard to deny that the future looks rather grim: growing inequality appears difficult to undo; the financial system has hardly become safer since the 2007/2008 crisis; and the rising power of Global South economies tends to rely on conventional economic and ecologically destructive growth models. Is it possible to turn the tide? To obtain some answers, we have for this issue of Voices invited a number of authors to share their ideas about alternatives to current forms of global capitalism and whether and how these may evolve.
