The Preston Model and Community Wealth Building: Creating a Socio-Economic Democracy for the Future
Editat de Julian Manley, Philip B. Whymanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 iun 2021
The first part of the book examines the main strands of the Preston Model framework and what makes it different to other urban regeneration schemes: the combination of local anchor institution procurement to generate and retain local wealth, and the development of cooperatives to fill gaps in local supply chains. The chapters in this section consider the Preston Model as viewed through different lenses: politics and society, community, economics, democracy, trade unionism, language and communication, education and transferability. The second part explores the influences and applications of the Preston Model, in theory and practice, in selected locations and various circumstances worldwide. This includes discussion of key ideas such as economic democracy, social enterprise and the creation of capacity for cooperative self-government, alongside essays on prominent international examples of similar approaches, which can inform and in turn be informed by the Preston Model.
This book is essential reading for those interested in regional and national policy, economic democracy and alternative economic and political ideas.

Recenzii
"The importance of themes discussed in this volume goes far beyond Preston and even the North-West of England. The book makes a convincing case for the principles and ideas underlining the Preston Model to become a template for the regeneration of local economies across the country struggling with the consequences of funding cuts. With its emphasis on the role of co-operative values and principles as a means for sustainable socio-economic development and change this monograph offers an original and refreshing perspective on topics stalemated by outdated orthodoxies. This inspirational reading demonstrates that impactful changes are achievable even with a minimum of resources when the energy of the community is involved. The book is also ‘selling’ the Preston Model to the world, because it makes an endorsement to the ideas and shared history that belong to generations of thinkers, social dreamers and most brave social actors who happened to find a way to improve the life of communities and make places liveable and lovable."

"Solidarity economy in the making, the Preston model is a demonstration of a path to democratize and re-localize the economy. The book presents rich discussions about this evolving project, uncovering its complexity and ambition but also its diverse understandings and interpretations. As the Mondragon model it is looking to for inspiration, the Preston experiment continues to inspire communities wishing to take back control over their economy and the commons."
