It points to an economic system in which corporate success merges with the long-term welfare of the workers and the general population. The author examines the continued reality of social democracy in Europe and what lessons can be learned for the U.S. He demonstrates how progressive economic change is already being fought for by labor and community groups throughout America in such efforts as the Living Wage Movement and the emerging battle against sprawl. And he provides a wealth of concrete examples, tools, and ideas that everyone can use to organize for economic and social justice in their own communities.Social justiceUnited StatesSocial justiceEuropeCapitalismUnited StatesCapitalismEuropePolitical participationUnited StatesUnited StatesEconomic policy1993-2001United StatesEconomic policyCitizen participationSocial justiceSocial justiceCapitalismCapitalismPolitical participation303.3/72/0973Reynolds David B.1963-925816MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910955703103321Taking the high road4468122UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
