Description

This updated, revised, and expanded edition of Christian Felber's Change Everything takes account of new developments within now-global Economy for the Common Good movement, answers its most vocal critics, and shows how contemporary geopolitical developments highlight in sharper relief than ever the need to do business differently in order to build a more just and sustainable global economy.

Fifteen years ago, Felber showed that it is possible for businesses to have a bottom line that is not driven by profit and endless growth, but rather by human dignity, justice, and sustainability. In the intervening years, Economy for the Common Good (ECG) has grown from a revolutionary blueprint for change to a broad international movement driven by thousands of people, hundreds of companies, and dozens of communities and organizations. At the same time, global politics and economics have changed dramatically in ways that have only concentrated the benefits of the global economy in fewer and fewer hands. In accounting for all these developments, this book demonstrates that the need for ECG is now clearer than ever--and that implementing this more egalitarian economic model might be closer than we think.

In addition to copious new examples, updates, revisions, and references, this new edition includes a new foreword by Neva Goodwin, a new preface by the author, and two new chapters on ethical world trade and social security and tax justice.
