Material type: TextPublication details: San Francisco BK 2012Description: 246pISBN: 9781609947644Subject(s): Community development Employee ownership Finance, Personal Right of property Cooperation New products Technological innovations Creative ability in businessDDC classification: 307.14 Summary: As long as businesses are set up to focus exclusively on maximizing financial income for the few, our economy will be locked into endless growth and widening inequality. But now people are experimenting with new forms of ownership, which Marjorie Kelly calls generative: aimed at creating the conditions for life for many generations to come. These designs may hold the key to the deep transformation our civilization needs. To understand these emerging alternatives, Kelly reports from all over the world, visiting a community-owned wind facility in Massachusetts, a lobster cooperative in Maine, a multibillion-dollar employee-owned department-store chain in London, a foundation-owned pharmaceutical company in Denmark, a farmer-owned dairy in Wisconsin, and other places where a hopeful new economy is being built. Along the way, she finds the five essential patterns of ownership design that make these models work.Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
