People Over Capital: The Co-Operative Alternative to Capitalism

Book Overview

Capitalism is failing and ordinary people are forced to pay the price. With such deep-rooted problems there is real hunger for alternative ways of organizing our economic system. Answering the question, "Is there a co-operative alternative to capitalism?" this book showcases fourteen responses from economists, academics, co-operators, politicians, and campaigners, exploring both the success and untapped potential of co-operatives. Each essay approaches from a new direction--from the flourishing open source movement to cases of co-operative success in different parts of the world.

Rob Harrison has written and commented widely on social change issues for more than twenty years.
