Description
Preston's remarkable transformation is a testament to the power of local action and community-led change. This book tells the story of how one city in the north of England took control of its economy and created a more democratic and sustainable future.
Through analysis, interviews, and case studies, the authors explore the Preston Model, a comprehensive project that envisions local and regional discussions and collaboration as a means of transforming our failing economic systems. The book shows how this model can be adapted to different local circumstances and demonstrates its potential to achieve a meaningful transfer of wealth and power back to local communities.
With a wealth of insights and practical examples, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the Preston Model and its potential to create a more equitable and sustainable economy. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring alternative economic models and creating positive change in their own community.
