The work consists of over 45 historic documents, which outline ANC goals and priorities, accompanied by lengthy introductions by the editors.

We will lose nothing in the process because, as Korten ably demonstrates, the supposed services Wall Street offers are simply a con game. And Korten now offers more in-depth advice on how to mount a grassroots campaign to bring about an economy based on shared prosperity, ecological stewardship, and citizen democracy.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49984885981457,"sku":"CIN0787256196G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0787256196.jpg?v=1751043515"},{"product_id":"basic-reading-inventory-student-booklet-book-johns-9780757550447","title":"Basic Reading Inventory Student Booklet","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50337505280273,"sku":"CIN0757550444G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50971330150673,"sku":"CIN0757550444VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":51333805768977,"sku":"CIN0757550444A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0757550444.jpg?v=1750785598"},{"product_id":"ray-of-light-book-johns-9780996575478","title":"Ray Of Light","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50371389128977,"sku":"CIN0996575472G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51011790078225,"sku":"NIN9780996575478","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0996575472.jpg?v=1751332041"},{"product_id":"basic-reading-inventory-book-johns-9780840382221","title":"Basic Reading Inventory","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50584979996945,"sku":"CIN0840382227A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50763295031569,"sku":"CIN0840382227G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51694336540945,"sku":"CIN0840382227VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0840382227.jpg?v=1751011714"},{"product_id":"composting-book-johns-9781998901098","title":"Composting","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50995420627217,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50995422658833,"sku":"NIN9781998901098","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52987018576145,"sku":"NLS9781998901098","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1998901092.jpg?v=1751188058"},{"product_id":"1975-cd-0779836800428","title":"1975","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53218599633169,"sku":"CINB00005OKV6VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0779836800428.jpg?v=1772845756"},{"product_id":"john-gay-the-beggar-s-opera-jonathan-miller-john-eliot-gardiner-roger-daltrey-english-baroque-soloists-dvd-0014381579529","title":"John Gay - The Beggar's Opera \/ Jonathan Miller · John Eliot Gardiner · Roger Daltrey · English Baroque Soloists","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53422458994961,"sku":"CINB00004Y7I5G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0014381579529.jpg?v=1776380144"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-johns.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
