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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut 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\u003ci\u003e   New Yorker,\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40938603282529,"sku":"9781399813792","price":18.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/products\/stand_15499809_jpg.jpg?v=1705048621","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781399813792-the-alternative","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
