Full Set has acquired The Infrastructure of Belonging: How We Unlock Economic Possibility by Masuma Ahuja as the first title in its forthcoming business list.
Publisher Blathnaid Healy acquired world rights in all languages directly from the author.
In The Infrastructure of Belonging, Ahuja sets out a hopeful path for change and progress by reimagining infrastructure as belonging, connection and resilience — offering an important and necessary vision for the economy.
Ahuja is a journalist, author and strategist who has spent her career exploring how we build belonging and what becomes possible when we do. She shares in a Pulitzer Prize, a Murrow Award and a Webby for her work as a journalist. Ahuja’s first book, Girlhood, published by Algonquin, featured the stories of 30 young women from around the globe. She has a degree in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics from Oxford and her perspective has been shaped by calling five different countries home. She writes Future Possible, a newsletter exploring how we design and fund the infrastructure for a resilient future.
Ahuja said: “We often talk about how broken systems are and how helpless so many of us feel in the face of systemic forces, and I’m so hungry for new conversations about how we build better, more hopeful, and more resilient models. I hope this essay can be a starting point for that.”
Healy said: “The Infrastructure of Belonging by Masuma Ahuja is a much-needed, hopeful antidote that shows us there are ways to rethink the big challenges we face in the world.” Adding: “we’re enormous fans of Masuma’s thinking and writing and are excited to bring her ideas to a wider audience.”
The Infrastructure of Belonging will publish on 22 October, 2026 in paperback, ebook and audiobook.
