The Case for Community Wealth Building

By Joe Guinan & Martin O'Neill

Building Prosperous, Inclusive, and Sustainable Communities

Traditional economic strategies often waste billions by subsidizing profit-driven, mobile corporations that offer little local benefit. In this groundbreaking work, Joe Guinan and Martin O'Neill argue for an alternative model: Community Wealth Building. They demonstrate how local, democratic participation can drive equitable development and ensure that wealth is retained within communities.

Key Concepts

• Creating collaborative institutions such as worker co-operatives, community land trusts, and public banks.
• Implementing local 'anchor' strategies that stabilize and empower communities.
• Transforming the economic system from the bottom up through active civic engagement.
