description: Few people would contest that modern capitalism comes with major costs: it damages the environment harms workers and increases inequality to name just a few. Yet were told time and again that those are simply inevitable side effects of the constant need for profit and growthand that while they may be regrettable theres no other way. Christian Felber disagrees. In Change Everything he lays out a wholly new vision for a humane economic modelthe Economy for the Common Good or ECG. Not just an idea but a rapidly growing international movement ECG is a practical detailed blueprint for a new way of doing business a people-centered approach that could sweep away austerity support human (and humane) development repair our damaged environment and utterly reorient our relationship to work money and the purpose of both. Its vision is just short of breathtaking but it remains grounded in reality as evidenced by the fact that more than 1700 companies around the world have already endorsed its principles. Nothing less than a call to re-examine all that weve ever been told about how economies work Change Everything is a ringing manifesto for a new better age.
