A woman with long dark hair smiles while holding a framed proof of the book “Herlands” by Megha Mohan. The book cover features bold, wavy patterns in red, white, and navy, with the subtitle “Lessons From Societies Where Women Make the Rules.”
Excited for my book on communities where women around the world live without men. I love the cover - the waves/braids represent unity, upheaval, and new systems being created. Herlands: lessons from societies where women make the rules is out March 6th www.penguin.co.uk/books/462518...

Screen shot of text: "Capitalism is an economic system founded on colonial looting. It operates on a constantly shifting and self-consuming frontier, on which both state and powerful private interests use their laws, backed by the threat of violence, to turn shared resources into exclusive property, and to transform natural wealth, labor, and money into commodities that can be accumulated." This is from the book Invisible Doctrine: The Secret History of Neoliberalism by George Monbiot and Peter Hutchison. It is offered as a definition of capitalism. IMHO this is very useful in a variety of ways, not the least of which that it distinguishes capitalism from commerce. Many seem to think that commerce is capitalism rather than a form of trading that precedes capitalism by thousands of years. By using their definition of capitalism as a lens through which to examine current govt. and industry actions around the world, a much clearer understanding can be gained. To pick a few, the current actions of the Trump led US government and the many policies the AoNZ govt has pushed through under urgency - including the new pay equity law.
I'm reading @georgemonbiot.bsky.social and and Peter Hutchison's Invisible Doctrine: The Secret History of Neoliberalism. They offer this definition of capitalism. See alt text for more.
