Building The New Economy:
Distributive Capitalism

About the Book

"Building the New Economy" introduces a successor to Capitalism. A system with an explicit mandate of distributed wealth and ownership that the author terms "Distributive Capitalism". Harlley takes a multi-dimensional view of the potential comparative advantages of a distributed system, covering areas as diverse as political grid-lock, macro-economic risk and economic justice, while always anchoring his arguments for "Distributive Capitalism" to the goal of human happiness and flourishing.

Praise for "Building The New Economy"

"Distributive capitalism is an idea whose time has come. As the economy seems more fragile than ever, Harlley offers us a third way between the tired tropes of capitalism vs. socialism, and demonstrates how expanding ownership across the economy can make for a fairer, more resilient, and more vibrant world."

– Denise Hearn,

Co-author of "The Big Fix" and "The Myth of Capitalism"
