尽管发生了大衰退，但当今世界绝大多数当权者仍将略有不同的全球资本主义形式描绘为唯一的游戏。无节制的增长、贸易自由化和竞争被认为是组织当代世界的唯一或最佳方式。失业、贫富差距拉大、政治脱离和环境破坏往往被视为新自由主义主导地位的可接受的“副作用”。
但现实是，资本主义一直是有争议的，人们创造了许多其他方式来养活自己。这本书探讨了经济和组织的可能性，远远超出了经济学家和管理理论家的狭隘想象。关于合作社、社区货币、过渡运动、乞讨、共同住房等等的章节描绘了一幅丰富的画面，说明另一个词不仅是可能的，而且已经成形。本书的目的是超越对现状的抱怨，探索组织可能性的多样性。我们的出发点是对当代全球资本主义的批判性分析，这仅仅是思考通过其他方式组织作为一种政治形式的开端，并且可以由团结，自由和责任的价值观驱动。
这一全面的同伴与国际演员的贡献者给声音的组织形式仍然没有代表性或边缘化的组织研究和传统的政治，但提供了更有前途的理由为社会和环境正义。它是学生，活动家和研究人员感兴趣的替代方法，以经济和社会在各种学科和跨学科领域的宝贵资源。
Despite the Great Recession, slightly different forms of global capitalism are still portrayed as the only game in town by the vast majority of people in power in the world today. Unbridled growth, trade liberalisation, and competition are advocated as the only or best ways of organizing the contemporary world. Unemployment, yawning gaps between rich and poor, political disengagement, and environmental devastation are too often seen as acceptable ‘side effects’ of the dominance of neo-liberalism.
But the reality is that capitalism has always been contested and that people have created many other ways of providing for themselves. This book explores economic and organizational possibilities which extend far beyond the narrow imagination of economists and management theorists. Chapters on co-operatives, community currencies, the transition movement, scrounging, co-housing and much more paints a rich picture of the ways in which another word is not only possible, but already taking shape. The aim of this companion is to move beyond complaining about the present and into exploring this diversity of organisational possibilities. Our starting point is a critical analysis of contemporary global capitalism is merely the opening for thinking about organizing as a form of politics by other means, and one that can be driven by the values of solidarity, freedom and responsibility.
This comprehensive companion with an international cast of contributors gives voice to forms of organizing which remain unrepresented or marginalised in organizational studies and conventional politics, yet which offer more promising grounds for social and environmental justice. It is a valuable resource for students, activists and researchers interested in alternative approaches to economy and society in a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary fields.
