Community and the Economy: The Theory of Public Co-Operation

Presenting a new political and historical theory of the mixed economy, this book is a convincing argument for a challenging social ideal - democratic communitarianism. Individualistic notions of liberty, equality and prosperity are too central to modern life and they need to be balanced by values of 'community' and co-operation. Arguing that such a transformation is possible and practical, the author argues that long-term changes must be achieved before economic success can take place in a more fraternal, participative, and democratic society.Boswell, Jonathan is the author of 'Community and the Economy: The Theory of Public Co-Operation' with ISBN 9780415116077 and ISBN 0415116074.
