We hope to have a party sometime in the summer to celebrate the book's release. We'll keep you posted on details.
Real Utopia now available for pre-order
newsletter | public- "Real Utopia: Participatory Society for the 21st Century" is a new book about a more just and human society, and the efforts underway to help win it -- a book to which CAPES has contributed.

The book's blurb describes more: "Instead of simply declaring 'another world is possible,' the writers in this collection engage with what that world would look like, how it would function, and how our commitment to just outcomes is related to the sort of institutions we maintain.
