Community and the Economy [PDF ebook] 
The Theory of Public Co-operation

Presenting a new political and historical theory of the mixed economy, this book is a convincing argument for a challenging social ideal – democratic communitarianism. Individualistic notions of liberty, equality and prosperity are too central to modern life and they need to be balanced by values of `community» and co-operation. Arguing that such a transformation is possible and practical, the author argues that long-term changes must be achieved before economic success can take place in a more fraternal, participative, and democratic society.
