Hopton D: Creating a Co-op Village

Creating a Co-op Village

How Real-World Co-op Businesses Build Wealth and Thriving Communities

A historically conscious manifesto calling for worker organizing in tech, led by Black and Latinx technologists What We Build with Power is an urgent call for organizing shared strategies in order to disrupt the tech industry and move toward a more economically inclusive and equitable workforce. Economic disparities between White, Black, and Latinx workers persist. Activist and organizer David Delmar Sentíes argues that tech is in a position to move beyond empty platitudes and toward an organized workforce that values the economic well-being of Black and Latinx communities.&nbsp; Delmar Sentíes uses his firsthand experience as the founder of Resilient Coders—a free and stipended nonprofit coding bootcamp that trains people of color from low income communities for careers as software engineers—to highlight how we must identify and dismantle the intentional systemic barriers in tech that are precluding nonwhite people from participating in their cities’ prosperity. He shows how diversity and inclusion initiatives fail, reveals how philanthropic efforts often exacerbate racial inequalities, and argues for a total overhaul of tech culture.

What We Build with Power

'Degrowth or ecomodernism? This book offers a compelling alternative. More than a utopian ideal, radical abundance is the guiding principle of a socialist revolution already in action' Kohei Saito, author of Slow Down

'If you're looking for practical steps to a post-capitalist future, don't miss this book' Jason Hickel, author of Less is More&nbsp;

'Rigorously argued and radically hopeful' Grace Blakeley, author of Vulture Capitalism

'Indispensable ... resets the terms of left debate' Jodi Dean, author of Capital's Grave

Capitalism has created a world of bullshit abundance, where we have too much of what we don't need and too little of what we do. Through this system's pursuit of profits, we have been put on a collision course with social and ecological limits that can no longer be ignored.

We need an alternative. We need radical abundance. A world of human and non-human flourishing made possible by democratically planned production. But radical abundance can't just be voted into existence through parliamentary means, it must be made by taking control of our collective reproduction in the here and now. Packed with fascinating research and real-life examples of communal planning and resistance, this book will convince you that a better future is possible, if we want it.

&lt;p&gt;This is the second volume of a two-part series on Concordian economics, an innovative paradigm that builds upon the Aristotelian-Aquinian tradition of economic justice. Having introduced Concordian economics in the first volume as a compelling research paradigm that addresses the limitations of mainstream economics, this second installment takes the exploration further by examining its real-world applications in four policy areas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With a focus on industrial organization, labor markets, monetary, and fiscal policy, the author advocates for a transformative approach to economic rights and responsibilities. By promoting a moral economy, this book offers a substitute to the Pac-Man approach to industrial organization. The book challenges traditional notions by discussing the ownership rights concerning larger corporations and offering visionary solutions, in the steps of Louis O, Kelso, empowering workers and employees to participate in the ownership of robots and artificial intelligence. The Fed has given a nod of approval to the creation of a new Concordian monetary system. Following the advice of eight Nobel Laureates in economics, the proposed fiscal reforms emphasize taxing only the value of land and natural resources, ushering in a society where the use of our natural resources and machines serves the common good, economic freedom thrives, and forced income redistribution becomes obsolete.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; This book illustrates a vivid vision of a world founded on universal economic rights and responsibilities, offering fresh perspectives on a more just and sustainable future. It appeals to scholars and students of economics and related fields, as well as anyone interested in a free but just economic system.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The Ultimate Handbook for Understanding World Poverty, Addressing Global Inequality, and Advancing Economic Justice

HowExpert Guide to Global Poverty

An economist challenges an emerging orthodoxy: the idea that the best way to alleviate poverty is simply to give people money. A simple notion has become increasingly widespread in recent years: to lift people out of poverty, just give them money. Leading international organizations like the World Bank and United Nations endorse the use of cash transfers. So do Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and everyday philanthropists-the charity GiveDirectly has raised more than $800 million to distribute to households in a dozen countries. Challenging this emergent wisdom, Heath Henderson argues that cash transfers-whether one-off grants or a "basic income" provided over a stretch of time-are a flawed response to global poverty. They risk displacing interventions that recipients themselves might prefer: if a community lacks access to clean water or high-quality healthcare, for instance, giving cash to households will not address the problem, which can be solved only by putting those funds toward public infrastructure. Cash transfers have also been linked to more direct harms, including increases in domestic violence, child labor, inflation, and even mortality. The appeal of cash transfers is rooted in the idea that they avoid paternalism, letting the recipients of the money, rather than faraway donors, make choices for themselves. But as Henderson points out, such transfers substitute one form of paternalism for another, by assuming that markets know best. Poor Relief instead proposes looking beyond one-size-fits-all solutions toward a truly bottom-up alternative. Fixing global poverty is not just a matter of giving people money-it requires giving communities democratic power.

Why Giving People Money Is Not the Answer to Global Poverty

First published in 1927, Hobson’s treatise on industrial conflict analyses the nature and causes of industrial disputes with the aim of finding an equitable means of settling them. Assessing the notion of a fair wage within the context of the pool of wealth, Hobson sets about creating a peace policy for industry. Set against the backdrop of economic downturn and struggle in the interwar years, in the years preceding the great depression, this is work of social, historical and economic interest.

The Conditions of Industrial Peace (Routledge Revivals)

"This second edition expands the provocative analysis of the dysfunctional colonial dynamics at play in philanthropy and finance into other sectors and offers practical advice on how anyone can be a decolonizer"--

Decolonizing Wealth is a provocative analysis of the dysfunctional colonial dynamics at play in philanthropy and finance. Award-winning philanthropy executive Edgar Villanueva draws from the traditions from the Native way to prescribe the medicine for restoring balance and healing our divides. Though it seems counterintuitive, the philanthropic industry has evolved to mirror colonial structures and reproduces hierarchy, ultimately doing more harm than good. After 14 years in philanthropy, Edgar Villanueva has seen past the field's glamorous, altruistic façade, and into its shadows: the old boy networks, the savior complexes, and the internalized oppression among the "house slaves," and those select few people of color who gain access. All these funders reflect and perpetuate the same underlying dynamics that divide Us from Them and the haves from have-nots. In equal measure, he denounces the reproduction of systems of oppression while also advocating for an orientation towards justice to open the floodgates for a rising tide that lifts all boats. In the third and final section, Villanueva offers radical provocations to funders and outlines his Seven Steps for Healing. With great compassion--because the Native way is to bring the oppressor into the circle of healing--Villanueva is able to both diagnose the fatal flaws in philanthropy and provide thoughtful solutions to these systemic imbalances. Decolonizing Wealth is a timely and critical book that preaches for mutually assured liberation in which we are all inter-connected.

All Together Now presents an alternative vision, one which applauds individual freedom but emphasizes such freedoms are best realised with a more collectivist approach to public policy. The message is simple: we're all in this together.Bernstein's book walks the reader though the history of our shift toward extreme individualism. His chapters describe the political and economic forces that have pushed us away from more collective thinking and action, and they elaborate the problems this transition has engendered. Having exposed the significant societal costs associated with the shift, the book introduces a new way of thinking about government and social policy (or, more accurately, re-introduces an old way): the power of collective action. In these pages, readers will find a welcome alternative, a new way to tap our "better selves" to meet the challenges we all face-together.

So said American patriot Tom Paine. He, like the other Founders, saw this country as a unique opportunity to build a society that valued the wellbeing of all of its people over the interests of the few. In the past 230 years, we’ve lost sight of Paine’s vision. Our government has adopted a YOYO (you’re-on-your-own) response in the face of even the most pressing national problems—diminished job security, the rising number of Americans without health coverage, stagnant incomes, decaying public schools, and more. “Here’s a tax cut and a private account,” they tell us, “now go fend for yourself.” It hasn’t worked. The YOYO strategy has proven to be incapable of addressing the economic challenges that confront us and has instead led to a massive upward shift in wealth and opportunity favoring the few and deteriorating living standards and increasing insecurity for the rest of us. All Together Now details an alternative WITT (we’re-in-this-together) strategy for solving our most daunting problems. Detailing practical, collaborative responses to globalization, health care, employment, and other areas that could improve the lives of millions of Americans without increasing national spending, All Together Now shows that the challenges we face can be solved. Together, we can wield the tools of government to build a more just and equitable society.

In Women Money Power, financial journalist Josie Cox delivers a sweeping narrative account of women's fight for financial independence, the legal and cultural barriers that hold them back, and the ongoing struggle to close the gender pay gap and address other economic inequalities."A bold, fascinating, and hugely important book. Unforgettable." -Jonathan Eig, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of King: A Life"A necessary and riveting read that is...also a pleasure." -Francesca Donner, former gender director at the New York TimesFor centuries, women were denied equal access to money and the freedom and power that came with it. They were restricted from owning property or transacting in real estate. Even well into the 20th century, women could not take out their own loans or own bank accounts without their husband's permission.They could be fired for getting married or pregnant, and if they still had a job, they could be kept from certain roles, restricted from working longer hours, and paid less than men for equal work. It was a raw deal, and women weren't happy with it. So they pushed back.Women Money Power brings to life the brave pioneers who challenged discrimination in the courts, the boardroom, and society:<ul><li>The "Rosies" who transformed industrial manufacturing and the labor force during World War II.</li><li>The visionary heiress who covertly funded the development of the birth control pill.</li><li>The barrier-breaking investor who integrated the boys' club of the New York Stock Exchange.</li><li>The fearless activist whose battle against wage discrimination helped inspire landmark equal pay legislation.</li></ul>Unpacking both historical breakthroughs and contemporary obstacles-from the glass ceiling to systemic corporate bias-Josie Cox provides an urgent, deeply researched guide to where women's economic equality stands today, how we got here, and what it will take to achieve true equity.
