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.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eVampire Capitalism\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2019-06-03\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781349716074\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-55266-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 355\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47680420675724,"sku":"9781349716074","price":29.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781349716074.jpg?v=1776576176","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781349716074","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
