Summary

Why does capitalism seem to be a remote money-driven system, which increases inequality and directs resources into pointless or environmentally damaging projects, if it is superior to central planning? The answer is that it has forgotten to create more capitalists - yet workers are more committed when they have a genuine stake in their company.

The Ownership Solution 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.
