THE ALTERNATIVE How to Build a Just Economy

To riff on a statement by Winston Churchill, capitalism is the worst economic system--except for all the others. In this constructive and well-narrated audiobook, NEW YORKER journalist Nick Romeo introduces listeners to companies and jurisdictions that have successfully challenged traditional capitalism with projects such as true pricing, participatory budgeting, and guaranteed jobs. Jamie Renell's well-paced and expressive narration is a good fit for the author's tone, which is reasoned and moderate, never strident. Renell's welcoming voice should win over listeners who might approach these ideas with skepticism, and it just might give these hopeful innovations the audience they deserve.
