Summary:

In this age of capitalist triumphalism, most of us are only too aware that the system isn't working. And that real freedom of choice lies not in more consumer products and 'free' markets, but in workplaces where workers themselves make the decisions which affect their daily lives. But how do we get from here to there? What does there actually look like? And how would a truly participatory economy work anyway? In Moving Forward, Michael Albert lays out a vision and strategy which give anti-capitalism a positive content. He tackles the big questions - What is meaningful work? How and why should we reward it? How can we control our own workplaces? What would a truly just economy look like? - in clear language and with persuasive real-world examples.
