The collection of lectures and publications from the Schumacher Center for a New Economics represents some of the foremost voices on a new economics.

In this lecture, Gar Alperovitz starts to formulate a response to the simple yet unnerving question: "what do you want?" He argues that the decay of the labor movement in the United States calls for new forms of progressive politics and systemic change. He offers an overview of the myriad, underreported projects and ownership structures in the United States from macro-level planning to small, worker-owned co-ops. He asserts that the amalgamation of such diverse institutions can lead to viable decentralized, democratic alternatives – what he calls a "Pluralist Commonwealth."
