By C. George Benello, Robert S. Swann, Shann Turnbull

A revised edition of a classic work long out of print, this book is based on the Schumacher Society Seminars on Community Economic Transformation.

The three major sections of the book deal with community land trusts and other forms of community ownership of natural resources; worker-managed enterprises, and other techniques of community self-management; and community currency and banking.
