Reimagining rural life beyond capitalism, this volume reviews alternative economic structures that center on sustainability and community wealth-building. Postcapitalist Countrysides exposes the entrenched inequalities that capitalism has imposed on rural communities and charts a path toward more just and sustainable futures. Built upon case studies from around the world, the book critiques the failures of privatization and market-driven development while showcasing alternative economic models that reclaim land and wealth for the many, not the few.

Through analyses of land reform and community wealth building, contributors depict how local initiatives can reshape rural economies and empower communities when reinforced by structural change. From challenging exploitative land ownership to confronting the encroachment of platform capitalism, this volume engages with urgent global crises while offering tangible strategies for transformation. Postcapitalist Countrysides presents a bold vision for rural life beyond capitalism--one rooted in collective prosperity and resilience.
