This book, the final one in the Stewardship Economy series, provides an introduction to some key economic concepts for the non-specialist and lists the references for each of the other volumes, as far as they are available.

This book describes the system of property rights in our current economic system, their history, and how property rights could be more fair an defficient in a stewardship economy.

This book in the stewardship economy series describes some of the adverse effects of our current system of taxation and considers the role of the state in a stewawrdship economy. It also explains some basic economic principles and terms.

This book focuses on the impact of a stewardship economy on the national and global economy, how the distribution of weath would be changed and the impact of a Universal Income.

This book sets out in some detail how to establish the market rent of land and how to make the transition from an owenership to a stewardship economy. It also considers how the revenue from stewardship fees might be distributed.

This book explores how a stewardship economy would transform the way we use land, provide housing and develop our cities. It goes on to consider how stewardship would help address pressing environmental and climate concerns.

Stewardship Economy questions one of the foundations of market-based economies, the system of property rights, and proposes an alternative - stewardship. The steward of any part of land and other natural resources has a duty to care for that resource and pays a fee to government equal to its market rent. The revenue from these fees will, in time, replace all conventional taxes and provide a universal income.

Working Whole Systems is likely to interest the readers if they are looking for new ways of working. It offers a radical way of thinking about organisations as living systems, and practical methods of engaging with complex social and organisational issues.

This book takes a radical approach to the problems of market economies. It doesn't question the role of market mechanisms themselves, or the role of government in regulating the economy and providing public goods. It does however question one of the foundations on which market-based economies are based: the system of property rights. It suggests that the form of private property that works well for the things we make is entirely inappropriate when applied to the natural world. It proposes an alternative - stewardship. The underlying principle of stewardship is that everyone is entitled to an equal share of the wealth of the natural world. In practical terms this means that stewards of land pay a fee that is equal to its market rent. This is used to provide revenue for the government in place of conventional taxes or to provide a Universal Income that is distributed to everybody.

Working Whole Systems offers a radical way of thinking about organisations as living systems. It provides practical methods for engaging with complex social and organisational issues that are applicable to any group wanting a new way to work. The book draws directly on the authors' experience in health agencies, housing, transport, local government, police and voluntary agencies. This second edition contains new research on the criminal justice system, services for children and young people and services for people with mental health problems. Leaders, managers and human resources professionals in all organisations will find the approach of this book fundamental to the way their systems function. It also offers vital information for policy makers and shapers.

General practice is the cornerstone of primary care in the UK. However, this traditional model has been challenged by new visions of its role, particularly a responsibility for improving health as well as for the care of illness, and a responsibility for populations as well as for individuals. This book focuses on the development of general practice as a framework within which community nurses and other professionals can build their contibution to the future of primary care. In so doing it shows how the care of general practice can be maintained and strengthened. This work is intended for all primary care staff, including doctors, nurses and managers, and for anyone interested in the future of primary care in the changing NHS.
