Hopton D: Creating a Co-op Village

Creating a Co-op Village

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

An urgent critique of the market-fundamentalist ideals undermining democratic politics, pointing the way to principled reforms. Democracy has been hollowed out by capitalism. A narrow view of markets and their aims-prioritizing efficiency, profit, and growth-now dominates thinking about democracy itself. Citizens are ignorant of the deep principles of self-governance, having long since adopted a facile equation between democracy and voting as a consumer choice. Lisa Herzog argues that democracy is still possible, but only if democratic values get embedded in everyday experience-including economic experience. That requires new ways of thinking about markets and their goals. The Democratic Marketplace theorizes the foundational structures of a democratic economy, in which markets are not just tools for maximizing profit via exploitation and extraction. To this end, employees are empowered to participate in corporate governance. Economic disparities are curbed so that citizens can negotiate their inevitable differences on a truly equal footing. And while a democratic economy need not eschew growth, it does renounce today's growth-at-all-costs expectations, instead balancing growth with goals like ecological sustainability and the preservation of time outside of work. Democratic economics also entails implementing reforms in ways that take seriously the perspectives, experiences, and skills of the whole population. These are not utopian dreams, Herzog contends. The proposals that follow from the theory of democratic economics are already being tested around the world. And the shift in social norms that they necessitate is already under way.

How a More Equal Economy Can Save Our Political Ideals

The Democratic Marketplace

* KIRKUS BEST NONFICTION BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2025* *ONE OF AV CLUB'S BEST BOOKS OF 2025*"[An] indictment of an industry that has cannily tilted the playing field in its favor. Bad Company details how clichéd abstractions like ‘consolidation’ and ‘efficiency’ have given cover to real betrayals." - The New York TimesA timely work of singular reportage and a damning indictment of the private equity industry told through the stories of four American workers whose lives and communities were upended by the ruinous effects of corporate takeovers.Private equity runs our country, yet few Americans have any idea how ingrained it is in their lives. Private equity controls our hospitals, daycare centers, supermarket chains, voting machine manufacturers, local newspapers, nursing home operators, fertility clinics, and prisons. The industry even manages highways, municipal water systems, fire departments, emergency medical services, and owns a growing swath of commercial and residential real estate.Private equity executives, meanwhile, are not only among the wealthiest people in American society, but have grown to become modern-day barons with outsized influence on our politics and legislation. CEOs of firms like Blackstone, Carlyle, KKR, and Apollo are rewarded with seats in the Senate and on the boards of the country's most august institutions; meanwhile, entire communities are hollowed out as a result of their buyouts. Workers lose their jobs. Communities lose their institutions. Only private equity wins.Acclaimed journalist Megan Greenwell's Bad Company unearths the hidden story of corporate greed and the world of private equity by examining the lives of four American workers that were devastated as private equity upended their employers and communities: a Toys R Us floor supervisor, a rural doctor, a local newspaper journalist, and an affordable housing organizer. Taken together, their individual experiences also pull back the curtain on a much larger project: how the relentless pursuit of shareholder value reshaped the American economy to serve its own interests, creating a new class of billionaires while stripping ordinary people of their livelihoods, their health care, their homes, and their sense of security.In the tradition of deeply human reportage like Matthew Desmond's Evicted, Megan Greenwell pulls back the curtain on shadowy multibillion dollar private equity firms, telling a larger story about how private equity is reshaping the economy, disrupting communities, and hollowing out the very idea of the American dream itself. Timely and masterfully told, Bad Company is a forceful rebuke of America's most consequential, yet least understood economic forces.This damning work of investigative journalism reveals:<ul><li>The Human Cost of Wall Street: Follow the true stories of four American workers-a Toys R Us supervisor, a rural doctor, a local journalist, and a housing organizer-whose lives were upended by corporate takeovers.</li><li>Investigative Journalism at Its Finest: In the tradition of Matthew Desmond's Evicted, Greenwell unearths the hidden story of an industry that operates in the shadows, controlling everything from hospitals and daycares to local newspapers and prisons.</li><li>Leveraged Buyouts Explained: Discover how financial engineering creates a new class of billionaires while stripping ordinary people of their jobs, their health care, their homes, and their sense of security.</li><li>The Fight for America's Future: A forceful rebuke of the private equity playbook and a damning indictment of the least understood-and most consequential-economic force in America today.</li></ul>

Private Equity and the Death of the American Dream

'A very valuable field manual for those who want to change our economies for the better' Ha-Joon Chang 'A book of dark fears and bright hope . . . Excellent' Danny Dorling 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.

How to Build a Just Economy

The Alternative

Beyond Profit&nbsp;brings together the latest academic research on Purpose-Driven Leadership and Organizations to show how leaders can create a Wellbeing Economy that is aligned with a sustainable future where we innovate and protect collective long-term wellbeing through governance that works. It is a must read for all leaders wanting to implement a coherent roadmap to meet the needs of the world we want - it will help you ask critical questions, learn from inspirational stories, and be armed with an innovative approach to find answers that will lead to a better tomorrow. Leaders make decisions with real consequences that are not just local but national and even global - they impact matters of intense importance; decisions with environmental, economic, societal and moral implications. The reality of leadership in times of uncertainty and risk places an unprecedented challenge at the door of today's generation of leaders. As a leader, you may often feel locked into pursuing sustained growth and endless increases in financial returns - while held back by less resources and more challenges around employees, customers, and new technologies. Perhaps you feel overwhelmed and weighed down by responsibility - troubled by the legacy you are leaving behind. It doesn't have to be this way.

Purpose-Driven Leadership for a Wellbeing Economy

Beyond Profit

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.

The Rise and Fall of Economic Equality

Women Money Power

Shortlisted, 2025 Goddard Riverside Stephan Russo Book Prize for Social Justice From an unlikely source, a compelling argument that when workers are paid fairly, everyone, including businesses, benefits "A compelling case for why it's time for America to invest in our greatest asset--our people." --Indra Nooyi, former CEO of PepsiCo &gt;In Pay the People!, John Driscoll, former Walgreens executive and healthcare CEO, and Morris Pearl, former BlackRock executive and board chair of the Patriotic Millionaires, pin the blame squarely on short-term corporate greed and policies of both government and employers that impose austerity on some of the hardest-working employees and families. They argue that business leaders' refusal to pay wages that workers can live on and Congress's failure to raise the federal minimum wage trap millions of workers in cycles of poverty. At the same time, Driscoll and Pearl demonstrate, these policies undermine the economy for all of us and threaten the foundation of democratic capitalism. This thought-provoking book rebukes current wage practices and congressional paralysis and outlines a clear path to stable, inclusive growth. In an issue that is too often covered as a zero-sum game where there's a winner and a loser, Driscoll and Pearl offer resounding evidence to the contrary.

Engaged Ownership

Landlords are using software to band together and organise artificial rent hikes. Uber is spiking the price of rides when your phone's about to die. And without drivers' knowledge, car companies are installing software that reports your driving behaviour to insurance companies, so they can collude against you on insurance prices. Instead of merely driving down costs, companies are now laser-focused on boosting revenue by wringing as much out of consumers as possible, bringing in record profits as a result. Price hikes are old as dirt, but today's companies have reinvented them, using a dizzying array of sophisticated and deceitful tricks to do something pretty darn simple: rip you off.In Gouged, Lindsay Owens takes you inside the corporate boardrooms where pricing decisions are made, uncovering the techniques - from junk fees and shrinkflation to algorithmic collusion - that corporations use to jack up prices. But if there's one thing we have in common, it's that we are all consumers. It's time to fight back.

"An ambitious, provocative, and compelling account that centers race in the analysis of wage justice. This is a must-read for anyone who studies low-wage work in the US and those interested in theorizing transformational regulatory regimes that could produce living wages for all workers."—Kate Griffith, Jean McKelvey–Alice Grant Professor and Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, Diversity, and Faculty Development, ILR School, Cornell University &nbsp; "Ruben Garcia is a pathfinder whose clear and convincing language confronts some of the most pressing controversies of our time. His lived experience as a labor attorney, in combination with his expertise as a seasoned scholar of labor law, creates a compelling original argument. Critical Wage Theory is accessible far beyond the academy, and Garcia's keen analysis could hardly be more timely."—Aviam Soifer, former Dean and Professor of Law, William S. Richardson School of Law, University of Hawai'i &nbsp; "An innovative exploration of class and race in the context of minimum-wage rules. Garcia applies persuasive theoretical approaches to a variety of real-world battles over legal rights. This is an important contribution to the fields of law, politics, and critical studies."—Joseph E. Slater, Distinguished University Professor and Eugene N. Balk Professor of Law and Values, University of Toledo College of Law
