If corporate capitalism and traditional state socialism both systemically fail to sustain values of equality, genuine democracy, liberty, and ecological sustainability what must we do? Gar Alperovitz joined Terrence McNally to share his vision for a better future and a path to move beyond mere resistance to corporate capitalism in order to lay the groundwork for the next possible system transformation.
Gar Alperovitz offers his perspective on centrist, elite resistance to Trump era politics.
“What they (local elites) are after are high-tech metropolises whose upscale tone and glamour can bypass and obscure the deepening pain of those left behind. A rumbling, anger-driven and increasingly sophisticated alternative, however, based on grassroots experimentation and organizing, suggests the developing possibility of something very different.”
Gar offers an number of examples and evidence of the growing national and global movement to build a new economy from the ground up.
