However, if we allow ourselves, we can see the current and coming period as heralding a different kind of transition, one of possibility.
At one level, there are record levels of socioeconomic inequality between those who own the means of production and those who produce, which is threatening to pauperise the majority of workers and which has only been further catalysed by the pandemic.
