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 Economics.ProfitSocial aspectsGlobal Financial Crisis, 2008-2009CapitalismSocial aspectsCapitalismHistory20th centuryEconomic developmentHistory20th centuryOrganizational changeDemocracyEconomic aspectsEconomic policyEconomic theory & philosophybicsscProfitSocial aspects.Global Financial Crisis, 2008-2009.CapitalismSocial aspects.CapitalismHistoryEconomic developmentHistoryOrganizational change.DemocracyEconomic aspects.Economic policy.Economic theory & philosophy339.5QD 110sdnbShutt Harry108502NCaBNVSLCaBNVSLBOOK9910792356403321Beyond the profits system3766064UNINA
