The Ownership Solution: Toward a Shared Capitalism for the Twenty First Century by Jeff Gates
This text makes a case for a new kind of capitalism which can displace the late-1990s exclusive and socially divisive patterns of ownership. Since the end of the 1970s there has been a return to 19th-century primitive capitalism. The rich have got richer, and the trickle-down effect is barely visible. Jeff Gates' humanistic vision for broad-based prosperity, genuine security and abundant leisure is ideologically inscrutable and highly practical. This is not a US-centric book, but looks at capitalist systems around the world, including Europe, South Africa, Latin America, the Middle East and more.
