The United States economy is overdue for a shift towards equity and democratic wealth building, as evidenced by extensive wealth and asset concentration.
The concentration of wealth is astonishing, with the top 1% of US corporations owning 97% of corporate assets and the wealthiest 1% holding 38.9% of all stock.
Large corporations dominate US private sector employment, while alternative economic models like solidarity economies and co-operatives aim to redistribute ownership benefits more broadly.
Case studies presented in *Assets in Common* illustrate practical examples of shifting towards a more equitable economy through democratic wealth-building initiatives.
