Based on collaborative research by the authors John Gaventa and Alison Mathie, this collection of eleven cases from Canada and the United States gives expression to the ideal of a new economy based on fairness and environmental sustainability. It shows how organised citizens are grappling with complex problems in their local communities and forging innovation, prying open cracks in the prevailing economic system and seizing opportunities to redirect economic life.
