ISBN: 9781523099924 - the making of a democratic economy: how to build prosperity for the many, not the few (14 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Seventy-one percent of Americans say they believe the economic system is rigged against them--but what's the alternative? This quietly subversive book challenges the unquestioned norms and assumptions of today's capitalism--and shows how a better future is being built through the work of unsung leaders in communities everywhere. From Pine Ridge to Cleveland, a fundamentally different economy is in the making. It's no longer a system of, by, and for the 1 percent. It's an economy of, by, and for the people--a democratic economy that can meet the essential needs of all while respecting planetary boundaries. At a time when competing political visions are at stake the world over, this book urges a move beyond tinkering at the margins to address the systemic crisis at the heart of our economic system. Visiting the frontiers of the new, Marjorie Kelly and Ted Howard distill the first principles at work in this emerging movement: community and sustainability are the alpha and omega, inclusion is vital, labor comes before capital, place matters, finance is ethical, and ownership is democratized. This book tells stories not just of activists and grassroots leaders but of the unexpected accomplices of the democratic economy. Seeds of a future beyond corporate capitalism and state socialism are being planted in hospital procurement departments, pension fund offices, and even company boardrooms.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Seven principles for a just and sustainable system, accompanied by true stories of 'the people creating the institutions of the next economy' (Kat Taylor, cofounder, Beneficial State Bank).The extractive economy we live with nowdesigned by the 1 percent for the 1 percentenables the financial elite to squeeze out maximum gain for themselves, heedless of damage to people or planet. But in this compelling book, Marjorie Kelly and Ted Howard show that there is a new economy emerging, focused on helping everyone thrive while respecting planetary boundaries.At a time when competing political visions are at stake the world over, this book urges a move beyond tinkering at the margins to address the systemic crisis of our economy. Kelly and Howard outline seven principles of what they call a Democratic Economy: community, inclusion, place (keeping wealth local), good work (putting labor before capital), democratized ownership, ethical finance, and sustainability. Each principle is paired with a place putting it into practice: Pine Ridge, Preston, Portland, Cleveland, and more.Included are stories not just of activists and grassroots leaders but of the unexpected accomplices of the Democratic Economy. Seeds of a future beyond corporate capitalism and state socialism are being planted in hospital procurement departments, pension fund offices, and even company boardrooms. The future remains uncertainbut Kelly and Howard help us understand how to nurture and grow those seeds into an equitable, ecologically sustainable economy that benefits all of us, not just the billionaires. "As champions of worker and community ownership, Kelly and Howard remind us that economic democracy is essential to political democracy and a viable human future." David Korten, author of When Corporations Rule the World.…
