A world with more compassion, fairness, and sustainability is not just a distant possibility; it can be a reality. We have an even stronger belief that this better world is not only within our reach but is already here in many ways.

Ownership Economy by Marjorie Kelly Marjorie Kelly's book The Ownership Economy examines a new economic theory that strongly emphasizes the value of widespread ownership and control over businesses. According to Kelly, a more equitable and sustainable economy can be created through ownership and control structures that prioritize the interests of employees, communities, and the environment. It shares what many of us know: the traditional model of capitalism based on shareholders has led to income inequality, environmental damage, and social instability.
Doughnut Economics: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist, written by Kate Raworth Doughnut Economics: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist, written by Kate Raworth, challenges traditional economic thinking and presents a new framework for sustainable development. The book isn’t saying anything about climate activists; native and indigenous people have been sharing for centuries. But she uses her experience as an economist to share frameworks that apply to our current systems.
The current economic model can't handle the complicated problems the world is facing right now, like climate change, inequality, and environmental damage. Raworth's "doughnut" framework is a picture of a safe and just place for people to live. The inner ring shows the basic needs of all people, and the outer ring depicts the limits of the planet's ecosystem. Raworth says that economic development's goal should be to ensure everyone has access to the resources and opportunities they need to succeed while staying within these ecological limits.
Belonging by bell hooks
Belonging explores the concept of belonging and the role of place in our lives. The book says that a lack of connection to place causes the disconnection and fragmentation many people feel in modern society. We can rebuild these connections by emphasizing community and local culture more.
