Introduction

Yanis Varoufakis believes that, for most people, capitalism isn't working.

As a former Greek finance minister, the prolific economics author understands global financial systems and how they could be 'fixed' to benefit a larger proportion of humanity.

Another Now speaks through a fictional group of intellectual friends who discover a wormhole into an alternative present.

Different social and economic choices made in the preceding decades have led to a very different 'Other Now'.

Far from being pure fantasy, Varoufakis persuasively describes how an alternative now – one with no banks, billionaires, stock markets, or Big Tech – could have come about, and might yet.

The question of whether we'd really welcome this alternative 'good society' is less clear-cut.
