| Description: | Gar Alperovitz, a leading scholar and activist in the building of a new economy, presents a talk titled "Democratizing the Emerging Economy."
Cooperatives, social enterprises, public banks and other new structures provide a new vision for the next economy. Alperovitz, the Lionel R. Bauman professor of political economy at the University of Maryland, explains how this work, especially the various forms of cooperative ownership, is helping to lay the groundwork for important new directions in the coming era that will see major political and economic changes.
Alperovitz's latest book is "America Beyond Capitalism: Reclaiming Our Wealth, Our Liberty, and Our Democracy," which diagnoses the long-term structural crisis of the American economic and political system and offers detailed, practical answers to the problems. |
