This book provides an in-depth history of three US-based communal
societies that operated in the late 1960s and 1970s-Soul City,
Stelle and Twin Oaks-with an emphasis on their financing,
marketing, and entrepreneurship processes. These communities
reflect the diversity of people who were dissatisfied with the
direction in which American society was heading-often underpinned
by concerns over racism, sexism, the environment, and
capitalism-and decided to take the radical step of joining a
communal society. A moral economy approach offers a lens on how
these communities were prevented from fully realizing their visions
due to the confines of capitalism, as embedded in banking
practices, zoning laws, and systemic racism.
