By: Peter Block     
A powerful, inspiring, and achievable vision of a society based on cooperation and community instead of competition and commodification.

This book counters the dominant and destructive story that we are polarized, violent, selfish, and destined to consume everything in sight. That is not who we are.

The challenge, Peter Block says, is that we are suffering under an economic theology that is based on scarcity, self-interest, competition, and infinite growth. We’re told we can purchase and outsource all that matters. Block calls this the “business perspective narrative.” It dominates not only the economy but also architecture, faith communities, journalism, arts, neighborhoods, and much more.

Block offers an antidote: the “common good narrative.” It embodies the belief that we are basically communal and cooperative. And that we have the capacity to communally produce what we care most about: raising a child, safety, livelihood, health, and a clean and sustainable environment.

This book describes how shifts to the common good perspective could transform many areas, fostering journalism that reports on what works, architecture that designs habitable spaces creating connection, faith collectives that build community, a market that is restrained and local, and leadership and activism that build social capital by creating trust among citizens. With these shifts, we would fundamentally change the world we live in for the better.

Soft as Rabbits Fur🥰
Size: 60''x80'', Color: Ombré Silver Onyx, Size: 60''x80'', Color: Ombré Silver Onyx
The softest blanket. Feels like sleeping with rabbit fur. I did anticipate it being a little heavier and it was not but that is ok I love it non the less. Would recommend to anyone! I have not attempted to wash it yet as the last one I ruined washing so were gonna wait as long as possible before washing this one. I would def recommend not drying. It has a luxurious high quality feeling to it that keeps me thinking about it all day! It's not to thick therefore it its too hot but keeps you comfortably warm. Amazon offered a %20 discount at checkout. The Blanket ended up being cheaper than I thought it would be So far I've used it for a couple weeks and 0 signs of shedding! I use it on my bed as I don't want it to get ruined. I fold it up each morning and put it away. I ordered the 60×80it fits a twin sized bed. I love this size and won't order anything smaller.
