Change must come or we will keep getting what we have gotten, or, worse. Popular media will not address the issues raised. This is proof the mainstream media is part of the problem. ( ) I've been working on a short book examining the contemporary condition as it applies to black politics. And I heard about this book from Marc Steiner. It was extremely helpful for my own work as it neatly consolidates a number of radical ideas that could fundamentally change the way we think about how economies should work. It's a neater, slimmer version of his AMERICA BEYOND CAPITALISM. But, like that book, I think the organization suffers a bit. There's not as much redundancy as there is in ABC, but it's still there. If an editor would've gone back over it once more I'd have given it one more star. With that said, if you're interested in thinking about what an alternative society could look like (if given a push) check it out. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Never before have so many Americans been more frustrated with our economic system, more fearful that it is failing, or more open to fresh ideas about a new one. The seeds of a new movement demanding change are forming. But just what is this thing called a new economy, and how might it take shape in America? In What Then Must We Do? Gar Alperovitz speaks directly to the reader about where we find ourselves in history, why the time is right for a new-economy movement to coalesce, what it means to build a new system to replace the crumbling one, and how we might begin. He also suggests what the next system might look like--and where we can see its outlines, like an image slowly emerging in the developing trays of a photographer's darkroom, already taking shape. He proposes a possible next system that is not corporate capitalism, not state socialism, but something else entirely--and something entirely American. Alperovitz calls for an evolution, not a revolution, out of the old system and into the new. That new system would democratize the ownership of wealth, strengthen communities in diverse ways, and be governed by policies and institutions sophisticated enough to manage a large-scale, powerful economy. For the growing group of Americans pacing at the edge of confidence in the old system, or already among its detractors, What Then Must We Do? offers an elegant solution for moving from anger to strategy.
