It also forcefully demonstrates why our only hope of reversing the tide is to abandon the traditional economic logic of endlessly expanding production in favour of responding to the aspirations of ordinary people. Such a transformation, argues Shutt, would make possible the allocation of resources to more socially desirable ends, including the assurance of basic economic security for all as a right of citizenship.New EconomicsProfitSocial aspectsGlobal Financial Crisis, 2008-2009CapitalismSocial aspectsCapitalismHistory20th centuryEconomic developmentHistory20th centuryOrganizational changeDemocracyEconomic aspectsElectronic books.ProfitSocial aspects.Global Financial Crisis, 2008-2009.CapitalismSocial aspects.CapitalismHistoryEconomic developmentHistoryOrganizational change.DemocracyEconomic aspects.339.5Shutt Harry108502MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459517603321Beyond the profits system2209422UNINA
