商品描述
The origins of the next radical economy is rooted in a tradition that has empowered people for centuries and is now making a comeback.
A new feudalism is on the rise. While monopolistic corporations feed their spoils to the rich, more and more of us are expected to live gig to gig. But, as Nathan Schneider shows, an alternative to the robber-baron economy is hiding in plain sight; we just need to know where to look.
Cooperatives are jointly owned, democratically controlled enterprises that advance the economic, social, and cultural interests of their members. They often emerge during moments of crisis not unlike our own, putting people in charge of the workplaces, credit unions, grocery stores, healthcare, and utilities they depend on.
Everything for Everyone chronicles this revolution--from taxi cooperatives keeping Uber at bay, to an outspoken mayor transforming his city in the Deep South, to a fugitive building a fairer version of Bitcoin, to the rural electric co-op members who are propelling an aging system into the future. As these pioneers show, co-ops are helping us rediscover our capacity for creative, powerful, and fair democracy.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
下一個激進經濟的起源根植於一個已經賦予人們權力幾個世紀的傳統,現在正重新崛起。
一種新的封建主義正在興起。當壟斷企業將戰利品餵給富人時,越來越多的人被期望依賴零工生活。然而,正如 Nathan Schneider 所展示的,對於這種強盜貴族經濟的替代方案正隱藏在眼前;我們只需要知道該往哪裡看。
合作社是共同擁有、民主控制的企業,旨在促進其成員的經濟、社會和文化利益。它們通常在類似我們當前的危機時刻出現,讓人們掌控他們所依賴的工作場所、信用合作社、雜貨店、醫療保健和公共事業。
為每個人而生 記錄了這場革命——從讓 Uber 感到威脅的計程車合作社,到改變南方城市的直言不諱的市長,再到建立更公平版本的比特幣的逃亡者,以及推動老化系統邁向未來的農村電力合作社成員。正如這些先驅所展示的,合作社正在幫助我們重新發現創造性、強大且公平的民主能力。
