{"product_id":"a-world-without-wall-street","title":"A World Without Wall Street?","description":"As the aftershocks of the latest economic meltdown reverberate  throughout the world, and people organize to physically occupy the major  financial centers of the West, few experts and even fewer governments  have dared to consider a world without the powerful markets that brought  on the crash. Yet, as François Morin explains in \u003ci\u003eA World Without Wall Street?\u003c\/i\u003e,  this is the very step that needs to be taken as quickly as possible to  avoid a perpetual future of dehumanizing working conditions, devastated  ecosystems, and the submission of public policies to private interests.  In this insightful and radical take on global finance, Morin  recommends nothing less than a revolutionary reconstruction of the  international monetary system. More, he recommends that the laws of  societies be reformed so that the power of management may be shared among all of the actors involved in production, not concentrated in  the hands of the few. This shift, argues Morin, will transform the  monetary system into a common good for all of humanity, rich or poor.  With Wall Street at the center of the very power structure that needs to  be dismantled, Morin takes broad aim at the purely speculative  financial games and arcane instruments by which the global economy and  its citizens are held captive. In this very timely and provocative book,  Morin bravely offers a way forward—instead of simply triaging a  hemorrhaging system, he persuasively asks us to consider a subversive  reinvention.","brand":"Michael Richardson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42848891961405,"sku":"9780857420312","price":37.76,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9780857420312_1915a490-0f0a-49b5-a0f2-ba92d0af0d27.jpg?v=1766990078","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/a-world-without-wall-street","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
