Over the last twenty years, Adbusters magazine has challenged consumerism, championed the
environment and provided a platform for some of our greatest thinkers. In 2011, they
instigated Occupy Wall Street, sparking a huge international movement.
Now Kalle Lasn, editor and founder of Adbusters, brings us this thought provoking
book, which provides the building blocks, in texts and visuals, for a new way of looking at
and changing our world. Illustrated in the distinctive style of the magazine and drawing on
a brilliant cast of contributers, Meme Wars debunks many of the assumptions about how
we run our societies today.
Placing fresh emphasis on the environmental and human factors that are often left out in
discussions of economics and examining alternative economies, Meme Wars is designed
to be 'a textbook for the future' - one that brings to light inspiring ideas for positive
change.
