Beschreibung
What if our economy was built on kindness and cooperation instead of selfishness and competition?
In this bold and forward-looking book, Guy Dauncey argues that the crises we face—from climate collapse to inequality and social division—are symptoms of economic systems designed to reward domination and capital gain. Blending anthropology, history, economics, and policy, he offers detailed, practical solutions across housing, work, banking, democracy, climate, and community. From public banks and cooperative housing to regenerative farming and global governance reform, this book sets out to enable systemic transformation
This book proposes a powerful alternative to present-day options: the economics of kindness. Combining years of research into alternative systems and approaches, it presents a new ecological social alternative—one focused on building structural kindness instead of one dependent on human emotion.
