Take Back the Economy: An Ethical Guide for Transforming Our Communities van J. K. Gibson-Graham, Jenny Cameron and Stephen Healy is an English-language printed study book about ethical economies and local transitions. This book is intended for readers who want to delve into how we can reform the economy at the community level.
In this book, the concept of economy is reconsidered as a result of everyday decisions and actions. The authors show how people can bring about small, ethical changes in their own surroundings to create a fairer and more sustainable economy. Through practical exercises, ways of thinking, and examples from around the world, the book encourages taking back the economy and adapting it to local contexts and needs.
Take Back the Economy addresses topics such as the distribution of resources, consumption, the preservation of common-pool resources, and investments in a livable future. It connects with themes related to economic policy-making and social transition.
