The Cooperative Society Newsletter
July 2024, Issue 47
By E.G. Nadeau, Ph.D.
Saving the world by 2050?
Why is this human-dominated world so deeply flawed by the powerlessness and uncertainty that most of us feel, by the dramatic differences in the quality of our lives, and by the damage that we inflict on our physical environment?
In The Emerging Cooperative Economy, author E.G. Nadeau makes the case that we can transition to an international economy based on increasing political and economic democracy, meeting human needs, and sustaining the environment. This new book presents a path for moving toward an economy that puts the well-being of the many ahead of the wealth and power of a few.
