"Economic Apart held in America lays out some much needed groundwork for more democratic discussion sand participation in economic life. This is a work that can serve as a useful tool for building and contributing to a movement for change....An accessible review of concepts designed to re-empower ordinary people to grapple with economic frameworks, issues, and practices too many would think they are incapable of handling." - Tikkun"
