Taking Back Control dispels the myth that an endemic of overwork, debt, the underfunding of public services, gross inequality and poor mental health are unavoidable through a provocative critique of work, money, politics, and the media.
Globalised neoliberal capitalism continues to entrench inequality, environmental degradation, and social division. The Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST), or Brazilian Landless Movement, offer us a route beyond any theoretical impasse or reluctant acquiescence to the enduring social and economic status quo. Through time spent working and living among the MST many of their defining features and activities are mapped. These include land occupations; the organisation of work co-operatively; the practising of agro-ecology; implementation of gender quotas for community leadership positions; and the application of principles based upon the ‘common good’. These represent just some of the experiences, challenges, and lessons we as a global community can learn from MST communities as we think about alternative futures.

Welcome to Abigail Thrasher's world, where the neighbors are strange, the rules have changed, and falling in love can get you killed. Abigail's nephew Luke should know. He's back in Texas-after 30 years as an artist in Manhattan-to cope with his daffy old aunt, who stands on her porch and hurls invectives at a gang across the street called the Latin Blades. Amidst the mayhem, Luke seeks love in the classifieds, finding some dangerous females, and takes Abigail on a dicey trip to Mexico. He's fated to be smitten by Raquel Acevedo, the sultry mother of a troubled teen whose gang name is Cobra. And then there's Winston Walsh, the ruling class attorney who holds the key to Luke's inheritance.
