Book excerpt: "First articulated by The Democracy Collaborative (TDC) in 2005, community wealth building (CWB) transforms local economies based on communities having direct ownership and control of their assets. CWB takes progressive elements across all sectors of a local economy, like community land trusts, worker cooperatives, public banking, anchor institutions and more--elements that have previously only existed as one-offs--and supercharges their power, connecting and scaling them in a systemic way through policy development, institutional design, and ecosystems of support that change people's lives and the economic future of our communities. It does so in coordination with local governments, economic development teams, anchor institutions, labor unions, and community leaders ... On the following pages, you will read how CWB uniquely meets the crises of our time. You will learn about the powerful historical context behind its ideas, from the early progressive and cooperative movements through to the civil rights movement. And you will see how this model is already reshaping cities and communities across the globe, including a landmark opportunity in Chicago" -- Page 4.
