Focusing on the theories of 20th-century economist Major C. H. Douglas and the social credit movement, this study explores the guild socialist origins of Douglas’s work, documents the subsequent history of the movement, and condenses the economic and social theories found in his original texts into a concise exposition. Breaking new ground in demonstrating the continued relevance of the social credit movement, this thoroughly researched reference reveals the extent of the incompatibility between capitalist growth economics and a socially just, environmentally sustainable political economy.

This is a unique and excellent book. It is an utterly damning expose not only of the crimes of one individual vivisector, but also of the UK's Animal (Scientific Procedures) Act of 1986 and of vivisection itself. Caught in the Act reads like a detective story or thriller, as we follow Melody MacDonald into the vivisection den of Prof Feldberg in the late 1980's and early 1990's to expose with videotaped evidence the brutality and pointlessness of vivisectional practices in a land that boasts the best legal and actual "protection" for laboratory animals in the world.Caught in the Act is a fully referenced work, documenting beyond all reasonable argument the cruelty, folly, stupidity and inanity of "animal research." The book should have a special place on the shelves of all who loathe barbarism dressed up as "science."

An analysis of the economic system that explains why a few people are getting richer, most people are getting poorer and why we are all heading for a global catastrophe. Mass poverty and hunger, unemployment, under-development, waste, armed conflict, resource scarcity and environmental destruction are all caused by the flaws in the economic system. This work shows how economic growth is seriously mistaken since it ignores finite resource and ecological limits, thereby promoting violence and injustice as well as ecological calamity. Having invalidated both "free enterprise capitalism" and "big state socialism" as viable long-term economic systems, the author puts forward an alternative, a Third Way "conserver society" that includes some of the best elements of the other two. His argument is that an economy for a sustainable world order must involved simpler living standards, a high degree of local economic self-suffiency and therefore much less transport and travel, a much smaller cash sector of the economy, more co-operative arrangements such as town banks and working bees, and many free goods from Peramculture-designed "edible landscapes".
