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.

Cute and Comfy
Special Size Type: Infant (0-12 Months), Size: 6-9 Months Infant, Color: Matthew Navy
My infant wore these for a few months, he’s 9 months now and they are too snug for 6-12 months size. We really liked the comfort and quality.

Great summer shoe for 8 month old.
Amazing fit for summer baby attire. Fits true to size, soft, easy on easy off. The Velcro is tearing up hos car seat though, because some rough surface is exposed.

Unsafe Buckle - Risky for tiny fingers
Special Size Type: Toddler (1-4 Years), Size: 12-18 Months Toddler, Color: Stuart Navy Canvas
I at first really liked these sandals, however once my son started learning how to undo the Velcro strap, his fingers began to catch painfully in the decorative buckle. Now I see the sandals as an unsafe option and have subsequently tossed them.
