But by 2027, a majority of Americans--from low-wage service workers to white-collar professionals--won't be traditional employees. Benefits like paid sick leave, pensions, 401(k)s, disability insurance, and health care will be nearly extinct. To meet the needs of this new generation of workers, the government has done almost nothing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this book, labor lawyer, former chair of the board of the New York Federal Reserve, and MacArthur \"genius\" Sara Horowitz brings us a solution to the current crisis of work that's rooted in the best of American traditions, which she calls \u003ci\u003emutualism\u003c\/i\u003e. Horowitz shows how the future of our economic safety net rests on this approach and demonstrates how mutualist organizations have helped us solve common problems in the past and are now quietly driving rural and urban economies alike all over the world, inspired not by for-profit corporations but by labor unions and trade associations, religious organizations and mutual aid societies, and vital social movements from women's suffrage to civil rights. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eMutualism \u003c\/i\u003eis for anyone who feels that the system is not working for them, and is looking for a new way to build collaboratively, create the new American social contract, and prosper in the twenty-first century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sara Horowitz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0593133528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593133521\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Random House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/16\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.80w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2020 pg. 47\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/11\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2021 pg. 21\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/23\/2021","brand":"Sara Horowitz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44048242934015,"sku":"9780593133521","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6212fc8f-9ad6-4c08-a07d-e3cbd461e75b.jpg?v=1684994695","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mutualism-sara-horowitz-9780593133521","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
