But what does that alternative look like? And given the ever-increasing wealth and power of the 1 percent and the fact that corporations are given carte blanche to turn natural resources into profit, is an alternative possible?\u003cbr\u003eTom Webb argues that a massive shift to social enterprise, primarily co-operatives, is required. More than 250 million people around the world work for co-operatives, and co-operatives impact the lives of three billion people. This model reduces almost every negative impact of capitalism -- it is a model that works.\u003cbr\u003eWebb outlines the principles co-operatives need to hold to if they are to be a successful alternative to capitalism and examines the public-policy changes needed to nurture such a transition, but he remains neither wildly optimistic nor unduly pessimistic. A better world is possible, but it is not inevitable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Webb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 155266872X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781552668726\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fernwood Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Tom Webb","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078411972863,"sku":"9781552668726","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f5f9c0ad-091c-4172-a3dd-84e90cb34432.jpg?v=1685475360","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-corporate-globalization-to-global-tom-webb-9781552668726","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
