Why this book?      Why this website?      Why now?

 

In the wake of economic and planetary crises, more and more people are reconsidering their role in the economy and wondering what they can do to make it work better for people and the planet. The book, Take Back the Economy, explores what we can do right now, in our own communities, to make a difference. This website is based on the book and includes:

links to the collective actions that people are taking

downloadable tools for exploring actions that individuals and groups can take

forums for finding out how others are using the book in activist and teaching contexts.
