Economics

Paint Your Town Red tells the story of how one city in the north of England decided to level up without waiting for Whitehall. Preston City Council's efforts to generate and democratize wealth at a local level have earned preston the title of Most Improved City. But beyond Preston, Community Wealth-Building is a Significant and growing movement in the UK and elsewhere, aimed at transferring economic, social and political power back to local communities. Exploring how a variety of communities are applying similar principles to take back control, Paint Your Town Red gives us a blueprint for the wholesale transformation of our currently failing economic system.
