About Me

- --news from Robert Neuwirth-- I recently (January 2020) signed a contract with Beacon Press for a new book of reportage on the economics of community. I'm also working on a collection of short stories about economics called The Book of Derivatives. Backstory: I've written two previous books: Stealth of Nations (on the global growth of the informal economy) & Shadow Cities (on the global growth of squatter communities). I live in New York City and do most of my writing on manual typewriters.

I think that the capitalism nor communism is the right answer for a christ. The german social capitalism system is already a good answer to that question. Unemployed, handicaped, old etc. get supported by the community over the taxes and social engagement. There must nobody die because of having nothing to eat or having no place to sleep. Thats why there is no need to take over private property. The respect of the property of others is important. Nevertheless it is funny that old people are founding a community supporting each other. This is maybe a new and better way for old people instead of the classical old people homes. Letting them feel needed and important instead of fenced in can be a concept. Maybe even mixed with families and children. Nice story ! Thanks Stefan
