Abstract

The quest for the United Nations’ sustainable development agenda for youth and by youth is incompatible with the unfolding worldwide discontents of capitalism. This paper addresses the resolution of this contradiction by reviewing some non-mainstream ideas which the youth may embrace for promoting socio-economic and environmental wellbeing.
