When a handful of people thrive while whole industries implode and
millions suffer, it is clear that something is wrong with our
economy. The wealth of the few is disconnected from the misery of
the many. In Civilizing the Economy, Marvin Brown traces the origin
of this economics of dissociation to early capitalism, showing how
this is illustrated in Adam Smith's denial of the central role of
slavery in wealth creation. In place of the Smithian economics of
property, Brown proposes that we turn to the original meaning of
economics as household management. He presents a new framework for
the global economy that reframes its purpose as the making of
provisions instead of the accumulation of property. This bold new
vision establishes the civic sphere as the platform for organizing
an inclusive economy and as a way to move toward a more just and
sustainable world.
