Summary

Our current economic model fuels inequality by enriching corporations at the expense of local communities. Joe Guinan and Martin O'Neill advocate for Community Wealth Building, a strategy that leverages democratic participation to foster equitable development. By establishing collaborative institutions such as worker cooperatives, community land trusts, and public banks, this approach empowers communities to share wealth more broadly and transform the economy towards inclusivity and democracy.

Description

Our broken economic model drives inequality and disempowerment, lining the pockets of corporations while extracting wealth from local communities. How can we reverse this?

Joe Guinan and Martin O’Neill argue for an approach that uses the power of democratic participation to drive equitable development and ensure that wealth is widely shared. They show how this model – The Case for Community Wealth Building – can transform our economic system by creating a web of collaborative institutions, from worker cooperatives to community land trusts and public banks, that empower and enrich the many, not the few.

This book is essential reading for everyone interested in building more equal, inclusive, and democratic societies.
