This handbook bridges explicit treatments of ethical issues in communication and implicit considerations of ethics, putting under one umbrella analyses and applications that draw upon recognised ethical theories and those which engage important questions of power, equality, and justice.

This text explores economic and organizational possibilities which extend far beyond the narrow imagination of economists and management theorists. Chapters on co-operatives, community currencies, the transition movement, scrounging, co-housing and much more paints a rich picture of the ways in which another word is not only possible, but already taking shape.
