The Case for Community Wealth Building
Our broken economic model drives inequality and disempowerment, lining the pockets of corporations while extracting wealth from local communities.How can we reverse this? Joe Guinan and Martin O’Neill argue for an approach that uses the power of democratic participation to drive equitable development and ensure that wealth is widely shared.They show how this model – Community Wealth Building – can transform our economic system by creating a web of collaborative institutions, from worker cooperatives to community land trusts and public banks, that empower and enrich the many, not the few. This book is essential reading for everyone interested in building more equal, inclusive, and democratic societies.

Wealth or not?
Wealth is often defined as having an abundance of valuable possessions or money. However, true wealth can also be found in non-material aspects of life such as good health, strong relationships, and a sense of fulfillment. Ultimately, whether someone is wealthy or not depends on their individual values and priorities. Some may prioritize financial wealth, while others may find wealth in other areas of their life.

Is wealth boring?
Wealth itself is not inherently boring, but the pursuit of wealth can become monotonous or unfulfilling if it is the sole focus of one's life. While having financial security and resources can provide opportunities for enjoyment and fulfillment, it is important to also seek meaning and purpose in other aspects of life. Ultimately, the value of wealth is determined by how it is used and the experiences and contributions it enables.

Wealth or fame?
It ultimately depends on individual preferences and values. Some people may prioritize wealth because it provides financial security and the ability to live comfortably. Others may prioritize fame because it offers recognition, influence, and the opportunity to make a difference in the world. Both wealth and fame have their own advantages and drawbacks, so the choice between the two is subjective and personal.

Is wealth just luck?

People who are able to make wise decisions, take calculated risks, and manage their finances effectively are more likely to accumulate wealth. Additionally, factors such as access to resources, social networks, and economic conditions can also influence an individual's financial status.
