Utilising existing imperial networks and colonial bureaucracy, the nonprofit sector sought an ethical capitalism, one that would equalise relationships between British consumers and Third World producers as the age of empire was ending. \u003cem\u003eThe Solidarity Economy\u003c\/em\u003e examines the role of nonstate actors in the major transformations of the world economy in the postwar era, showing how British NGOs charted a path to neoliberalism in their pursuit of ethical markets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBetween the 1950s and 1990s, nonprofits sought to establish an alternative to Keynesianism through their welfare and development programmes. Encouraging the fair trade of commodities and goods through microfinance, consumer boycotts, and corporate social responsibility, these programmes emphasised decentralisation, privatisation, and entrepreneurship. Tehila Sasson tells the stories of the activists, economists, politicians, and businessmen who reimagined the marketplace as a workshop for global reform. She reveals how their ideas, though commonly associated with conservative neoliberal policies, were part of a nonprofit-driven endeavour by the liberal left to envision markets as autonomous and humanising spaces, facilitating ethical relationships beyond the impersonal realm of the state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on dozens of newly available repositories from nongovernmental, international, national, and business archives, \u003cem\u003eThe Solidarity Economy\u003c\/em\u003e reconstructs the political economy of these markets—from handicrafts and sugar to tea and coffee—shedding critical light on the postimperial origins of neoliberalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47934384275692,"sku":"9780691255118","price":101.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780691255118-the-solidarity-economy.jpg?v=1783914794"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/tehila-sasson.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
