THE ALTERNATIVE - NICK ROMEO KARTONIERT (TB)

A provocative debunking of accepted economic wisdom which offers a new pathway to a sustainable
survivable economy. Confronted by the devastating trends of the early twenty-first century -
widening inequality  environmental destruction  and millions of workers stuck in precarious 
soul destroying work - many economists  politicians and business leaders argue that there is no
alternative. They cling to the dogmas that got us in this mess in the first place: private
markets are more efficient than public ones  investment capital always flows where it is needed
inequality is an inevitable side effect of economic growth  people only behave well with the
right incentives. But a growing number of academic economists  business owners  policy
entrepreneurs  and ordinary people are rejecting these myths and reshaping economies to reflect
their ethical and social values. Journalist Nick Romeo  who covers the world's most innovative
economic and policy ideas for the New Yorker  takes us on an extraordinary journey through the
unforgettable stories and successes of people working to build economies that are more equal 
just  and liveable. Combining original  in-depth reporting with expert analysis  Romeo explores
everything from fair pricing in the Netherlands to large scale cooperatives in Spain to public
sector marketplaces offering decent work and real protection to gig workers in California and
demonstrates there is an alternative.
