DESCRIPTION:Reading: Introduction and First Chapter of 'Take Back the Economy.'\n\nWhat 
 can we, as individuals do, to seek a more just, sustainable and equitable 
 world?\n\n"Take Back the Economy dismantles the idea that the economy is 
 separate from us and best comprehended by experts. Instead, the authors 
 demonstrate that the economy is the outcome of the decisions and efforts we 
 make every day. The economy is thus reframed as a space of ethical action - 
 something we can shape and alter according to what is best for the 
 well-being of people and the planet.\n\n"The book explores what people are 
 already doing to build ethical economies, presenting these deeds as mutual 
 concerns: What is necessary for survival, and what do we do with the 
 surplus produced beyond what will fulfill basic needs? What do we consume, 
 and how do we preserve and replenish the common - those resources that can 
 be shared to maintain all? And finally, how can we invest in a future worth 
 living in?"\n\nStrike Debt Bay Area hosts this economics-oriented, 
 non-technical book discussion group, meeting approximately once a month. 
 This month's discussion will be about the introduction to and first chapter 
 of 'Take Back the Economy' by J K Gibson-Graham, Jenny Cameron and Stephen 
 Healy. We will decide at the end of the meeting whether to continue through 
 the whole book or move on.\n\nThe book is available via online (e.g. 
 Minnesota Press), the introduction is available via 'Look Inside', and a 
 few copies exist in local libraries.\n\nBring your questions, comments and 
 intellectual curiosity!\n"Take Back the Economy is the single most 
 farsighted and practical work enlightening us on the path to a steady 
 transition toward a genuine postcapitalist world..." - Arturo Escobar, 
 University of North Carolina\n
