DESCRIPTION:\n\nReading for July 13th Meeting: Fourth Chapter: Take Back the 
 Market.\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. The first month's discussion was about the 
 introduction to and first chapter of 'Take Back the Economy' by J K 
 Gibson-Graham, Jenny Cameron and Stephen Healy.   The second month's 
 discussion is about  Chapter 4 of the book: Take Back the Market. It's 
 easy to catch up, the Intro and First Chapter are easy reading.  All are 
 welcome!\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 https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2019/06/16/18824018.php
