Barnes Peter - Ours The Case For Universal Property - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: We think our wealth today comes from productive corporations and workers but they merely add icing to a cake baked long ago. In this provocative book Peter Barnes argues that most of today's wealth is co - inherited from nature and past human efforts not individually earned. If some of that co - inherited wealth were placed in trust for each of us living and yet - to - be born creating what Barnes calls universal property capitalism would be fundamentally transformed. As Barnes notes capitalism as we know it has two tragic flaws: it relentlessly widens inequality and destroys nature. Both flaws are a result of one - sided property rights that favor capital over everything else. Adding universal property to the current property mix would create a market economy in which businesses prosper nature's limits are respected and a large middle class thrives. This smart and concise book could set the agenda for a post - Covid world.
