The Politics of Value is a timely examination of three movements that gathered force in the wake of the 2008 recession: the 2011 Wisconsin uprising to protest a bill that restricted the union rights of state workers; the movement to charter a new kind of corporation called a benefit corporation; and a group called Slow Money, which fosters patient peer-to-peer investing. It responds to the wide social unrest about what value means today. The term had been codified as market frameworks came to dominate the economy: factors like GDP growth, profitability, and share price. Through these three movements, Collins demonstrates how citizens in a group have taken concrete actions that ask us to reflect on what is needed to create a just, sustainable, and well-functioning economic system.
