Product Details
Overview
A radical take on ageing under capitalism.
Ageing is a modern problem. Advancements in public health and medical science have gifted us a whole new phase of life – but what should we do with it?
In Ageing radically, Steve Taylor offers a thought-provoking account of the politics of getting older. At a time of falling birth rates and rising inequality, he asks the difficult questions that confront us. Who gets to enjoy old age? Who should bear the burden of paying for it? Will retirement soon be a thing of the past? And should we all be getting regular blood transfusions from our children?
As Taylor shows, capitalism has stripped the experience of ageing of its shared, social dimension. But that doesn’t mean we have to go gentle into that good night. Laying out a plan for becoming radical elders, he calls on us to continue to learn and develop, and to play our part in building new forms of living.
