About this Item

Paperback. Regardless of politics, most of us can agree that we're in a bad place right now. Financial hardship, economic uncertainty, culture wars - it can all feel very overwhelming. But here's the thing: all these issues have their roots in the same core problem. As of late 2024, the top ten percent of our country controlled two-thirds of our wealth, leaving one-third for everyone else. The hardships we're facing now are the natural result of wealth being sucked out of communities by mega-corporations with a mind only for profits.Capitalism has proven itself to be great for productivity - but if unregulated, it eventually leads to exploitation, price gouging, and a society run by greed. Communism and Socialism have tried to deal with this, but we've seen from history that idealism without realism only gets you so far. But what if we took Capitalism and applied ethics to it? This is what Contributionism seeks to do - and this book lays out how it works. If you feel hopeless watching politics spiral into chaos as prices rise, jobs get cut, and inflation skyrockets, this book is for you. In it you will find clear explanations of the root cause of our problems, as well as actionable steps we can each take to fix our situation.If you want a system that is both realistic and ethical - consider Contributionism. The Contributionist Compromise looks at economics through the lens of ethics. First it examines how many of our problems have their roots in income inequality and wealth consolidation, then it offers an actionable solution: Contributionism. This item is printed on demand.

Synopsis

Regardless of politics, most of us can agree that we're in a bad place right now. Financial hardship, economic uncertainty, culture wars - it can all feel very overwhelming. But here's the thing: all these issues have their roots in the same core problem.

As of late 2024, the top ten percent of our country controlled two-thirds of our wealth, leaving one-third for everyone else. The hardships we're facing now are the natural result of wealth being sucked out of communities by mega-corporations with a mind only for profits.

Capitalism has proven itself to be great for productivity - but if unregulated, it eventually leads to exploitation, price gouging, and a society run by greed. Communism and Socialism have tried to deal with this, but we've seen from history that idealism without realism only gets you so far.

But what if we took Capitalism and applied ethics to it? This is what Contributionism seeks to do - and this book lays out how it works.

If you feel hopeless watching politics spiral into chaos as prices rise, jobs get cut, and inflation skyrockets, this book is for you. In it you will find clear explanations of the root cause of our problems, as well as actionable steps we can each take to fix our situation.

If you want a system that is both realistic and ethical - consider Contributionism.
