Jennifer B. Hinton, PhD

BOOK DESCRIPTION

What if profit wasn’t the thing organizing our economy? Game Changer argues that the crises of our era — consumerism, environmental breakdown, inequality, market concentration, political capture — aren’t accidents. They’re the predictable result of an economy set up to prioritize profit above all else. Using the metaphor of a game, Hinton lays out the “rulebook” of the for-profit economy and shows how it drives businesses toward destructive strategies regardless of who’s playing. But she doesn’t stop at the diagnosis: The book’s second half sets up an alternative — the Not-for-Profit Economy — with its own logic of serving, circulating, cooperating, and communicating, and shows how it supports economic equality, ecological stewardship, and widespread wellbeing. The final part turns to five strategies for readers who want to transform the game themselves.

Written for a lay audience, Game Changer is both a clear-eyed critique of the economy we have and a practical, hopeful blueprint for a better one we can build.
