Description
'A very valuable field manual for those who want to change our economies for the better' Ha-Joon Chang
'Excellent' Danny Dorling
'Just the book economists should read . . . The Alternative has the approachable style of a moderate but the bold convictions of a radical' Washington Post
A provocative new vision for a sustainable, survivable economy.
Is our economy - blighted by inequality, environmental destruction, and precarious, soul-destroying work - inevitable? Or is there an alternative?
Taking us on a globe-spanning journey to meet the economists, entrepreneurs, and ordinary people who are rejecting these myths, The Alternative envisions an economy reshaped to reflect our true ethical and social values. From fair pricing experiments in the Netherlands to super-scale cooperatives in Spain to public sector marketplaces offering effective protection to gig workers in the USA, acclaimed economic journalist Nick Romeo plots the inspiring paths towards an economy that is more equal, just, and liveable.
