Excellent- More about Building a Solidarity Society: Power, People, and Planet
The book explores the priorities of the powerful, economic theories, and alternative world views that are driving activists' efforts to create a caring and sustainable society. It challenges the notion that switching from a capitalist to a democratic economy would kill the goose that lays the golden eggs and presents exciting possibilities for moving towards a more humane and sustainable way of living. Advocates for a caring solidarity society are many and can be the force that redistributes power in firms, families, and society.

BUILDING A SOLIDARITY SOCIETY: A REALISTIC DREAM OR AN IMPOSSIBLE GOAL?
Many people are skeptical about whether a caring and sustainable society that fosters the flourishing of people and planet is a goal worth pursuing. However, the misuse of power is the obstacle to be overcome, and pursuing this goal may be our only realistic choice. This book leads the skeptical reader — whether a college student or an underpaid worker — on an exploration of the priorities of the powerful, the economic theories that justify their decisions, and the alternative world views that are firing the imagination and efforts of activists across the globe.
Economist Marianne Hill speaks to those who worry that switching from a capitalist to a democratic economy would kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. Drawing on cutting-edge scholarship, she explores why people accept a status quo in which the few have the right to control the labor of the many and the right to distribute the wealth collectively created. Research findings, data, and stories drawn from the COVID-19 pandemic and other recent crises are used to explain why plutocrats show little concern for the economic distress and insecurity suffered by so many.
Steps can be taken to move us towards a more humane and sustainable way of living. Exciting possibilities are presented, based on recent manifestos, party platforms, books, and documents. Advocates for a caring solidarity society are many and, once united, can be the force that redistributes power in firms, families, and society. This book aims to foster the clarity, cohesion, and courage that can ensure their success.
