 a forceful rejection of that gleeful, adolescent paranoia that masquerades 
 as hardcore realism… “catastrophism’ is a wish expressed as a fear, a 
 masochistic cop-out that postures as bravery. Welcoming the end of the 
 world as the catalyst of political deliverance is one of the most 
 irresponsible positions on offer. This book is a superb antidote to the 
 unproductive politics of fear.” \n                             — 
 Christian Parenti, author of Tropic of Chaos\n \n“Bravo! This…has been 
 sorely needed for so long to reveal the dead end that a politics founded on 
 catastrophic predictions must lead to in terms of either preventing them or 
 actually changing the world. Essential reading for all those on the left 
 who are concerned with the question of strategy today.”\n—     Leo 
 Panitch, coauthor, “The Making of Global Capitalism”\n 
 \n“Catastrophism comes at the right moment: the year of The End 
 proclaimed across the political spectrum from deep ecologists to the Mayan 
 Calendarists It is a warning not to abandon everyday anticapitalist 
 politics for a politics of absolute fear that inevitably leads to 
 inaction.” \n—   Silvia Federici, author, Revolution at Point Zero: 
 Housework, Reproduction, and Feminist Struggle\n \nSasha Lilley, a writer 
 and radio broadcaster, is the co-founder and host of the critically 
 acclaimed program of radical ideas, Against the Grain. While program 
 director of KPFA Radio, the flagship station of the Pacifica Network, she 
 headed up such award-winning national broadcasts as "Winter Soldier: Iraq 
 and Afghanistan." Sasha is the series editor of PM Press’ political 
 economy imprint, Spectre, and is the author of Capital and Its Discontents. 
  Her co-authors for Catastrophism are David McNally, Eddie Yuen, and James 
 Davis.\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2013/01/20/18730590.php
