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.
