Join Gar Alperovitz and the Democracy Collaborative on June 1st at 7pm at Busboys and Poets 14th and V for the launch of Gar’s new boo k: Principles of a Pluralist Commonwealth.
\nIn this time o f deepening political\, economic\, and ecological crisis\, it’s more impor tant than ever to not only resist the current political threats\, but also build a new system—the world we hope to live in. Gar Alperovitz\, co-foun der of the Democracy Collaborative\, co-chair of the Next System Project\, and former Lionel Bauman Professor of Political Economy at the University of Maryland\, sees our dark times as the potential prehistory of a period of fundamental and transformative systemic change. In the new book\, he o utlines his vision of the “Pluralist Commonwealth\,” a new political-econo my that moves beyond both corporate capitalism and state socialism. The bo ok is designed as a small\, easy to use handbook with short entries on the key elements of a next system\, and is packed with concrete and hopeful e xamples of what can be done locally to build a new truly democratic politi cal economy from the ground up.
\nIn response to the swell of organi zing that has taken place in recent months\, the book will be released onl ine for free to make it available for use by the greatest number of activi sts\, organizers\, and practitioners working at the grassroots level. Howe ver\, limited-edition print copies of the book will be available at the Bu sboys and Poets launch event and at other resistance gatherings throughout 2017.
\nIntroducing Gar on June 1st will be Robert Borosage\, the f ounder and president of the Institute for America’s Future and co-director of its sister organization\, the Campaign for America’s Future.
