| Summary |
Is it the impossible dream: a caring and sustainable society that fosters the flourishing of people and planet? Many are deeply skeptical about whether such a transformative change is a goal worth pursuing. But pursuit of this goal may be our only realistic choice; the misuse of power, then, is the obstacle to be overcome. This book leads the skeptical reader whether college student or underpaid worker on an exploration of the priorities of the powerful, the economic theories that justify their decisions, and the alternative world views that are firing the imagination and efforts of activists across the globe. Author Marianne Hill aims to foster the clarity, cohesion and courage that can ensure the success of those efforts. Marianne Hill is a radical, feminist economist who received her Ph.D. in economics from Yale University in 1983. Besides teaching at universities, she did economic forecasting and research for the state of Mississippi and for Puerto Rico. She has several publications and has served on the boards of the Union for Radical Political Economics and the International Association for Feminist Economics |
