It presents case studies and analysis of alternative ownership designs, such as cooperatives and employee-owned firms, that aim to create a more resilient and inclusive economy.
Key points:
1. Extractive vs. Generative Ownership: Kelly differentiates between ownership that takes resources (extractive) and ownership that supports long-term community and environmental health (generative).
