Making a Place for Community: Local Democracy in a Global Era

Rating:
Summary: Essential reading for serious political activists
Review: This is one of the first books to tie together disparate concerns about globalization, job loss at home, and suburban sprawl into a coherent theoretical and practical framework. It's also an incredibly informative and hopeful look at the ways local communities can use alternative economic structures to provide jobs that are really rooted in communities. This book does more than just critique the system--it offers serious ideas about a positive vision for the movement. A must read--
