Capitalism is increasing at odds with public opinion and action, and there is a growing understanding that globalized capitalism goes hand-in hand with gross inequality.Capitalism's traditional political opponents have not proposed credible and practical alternatives yet movements such as Occupy indicate the appetite for change is real.So there is great need for books such as this that propose practical alternatives.The book is not partisan to any particular political ideology, but is about grassroots change, building on the thesis of 'One No, Many Yeses'. Transformational but also practical and pragmatic – it advocates approaches that are locally-rooted, participatory and co-operative.Identifies the elements necessary for a program to address if an alternative to capitalism is to have a chance of succeeding. Economy: Work and Income. Politics: State and democracy. Environment: Living within our means. Culture: Identity or celebrity.
