Synopsis

Rethinking wealth, work, and democracy for a changing world. This polemic explores why the capitalist system has failed to deliver for the masses and how a new social order could distribute abundance more fairly. It argues that progress requires more than innovation; it calls for democratic control of industry and a cooperative spirit among workers, managers, and the public.


Drawing on historical analysis and practical ideas, the book examines the gaps between production and distribution, the dangers of extreme inequality, and the role of education, politics, and international cooperation in shaping a just economy. It presents a vision of democracy that extends beyond voting to how work is organized, who benefits from progress, and how nations can cooperate to prevent conflict and poverty.



  • Why wealth so often concentrates and what this means for everyday life.

  • How democratic control of industry could change work, leisure, and society.

  • The argument for international cooperation as a path to peace, prosperity, and shared prosperity.

  • Practical steps toward reform, including education, policy, and worker participation in management.


Ideal for readers of political economy, labor history, and social theory who want a clear, historically grounded case for reimagining how economies serve all people.
