Gar Alperovitz, Professor of Political Economy, University of Maryland; Co-founder, The Democracy Collaborative; Author, What Then Must We Do?: Straight Talk About the Next American Revolution
Is there an America beyond capitalism? Just beneath the surface level of public awareness, something is brewing amidst the social and economic distress – including thousands of worker-owned companies, co-ops with millions of members, states taking up public banking, and new forms of single-payer health care.
Endorsed by Ralph Nader and Van Jones, Alperovitz presents a compelling case for a cooperative and community-based economy. He argues that the coming painful decades may be the prehistory of the next American revolution – and an evolutionary process that transforms the American system, making it both morally meaningful and ecologically sustainable.
