This book argues that the left can use such moments of chaos to achieve emancipation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Graham Jones illustrates how everyone can help to exploit these shocks and bring about a new world of compassion and care. He examines how combining mutually reinforcing strategies of ‘smashing, building, healing and taming’ can become the basis of a unified left.
