History of Ideology: Beyond AI Capitalism is a sweeping, urgent and hopeful journey through humanity's past and future. From the first hunter-gatherer tribes to the rise of agriculture, empires and capitalism, this book traces the ideas that have shaped our world - and shows why the old economic order is breaking down before our eyes. As artificial intelligence and automation transform every industry, we face a choice. Capitalism's growth-driven engine is colliding with the limits of a finite planet, while technology erodes the very foundation of wage labor. The result is a coming shockwave that could collapse consumer demand, destabilise governments and unleash unrest - unless we choose a new path. Rather than despair, History of Ideology offers a bold vision for the next chapter of human history. It calls for a post-capitalist economy built on shared ownership, universal basic income, environmental regeneration and purpose-driven work. Drawing on history, economics and future studies, this book argues that the end of capitalism can be the beginning of something far better - if we act wisely and quickly. Provocative yet hopeful, deeply researched yet accessible, this book is for anyone who senses that our systems are failing and is ready to imagine what comes next.
