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.

Much better fitting
Color: White
Had to buy 2 of these cases because the first one was so well done. I bought another brand and it was such a loose fit. These are awesome!

As advertised
Color: Green Orange
Did exactly what they needed. Made the remote slightly larger so it is easier to use and less slippery.

Pretty good...
Color: Red
Red color is kind of an orange-red. Hm... Came with some kind of dust on it. Once cleaned off it's not as slippery, yet still slips on just fine. Protects the remote - and your hands from the remote's hard edges. The raised bumps on the back make it easier to pickup - without digging your fingernails into cushions or carpets as you "scoop."

Very handy to have to spot them easily
Color: Dark Blue
Love the cases, have a different color on each rooms tv. Hopefully it will protect from a drop as that is what prompted me to buy it. We cracked the screen on our last remote and they are expensive to replace. Good price
