Owning the Future
Book •
In Owning the Future, Matthew Lawrence examines how ownership structures shape economic outcomes and argues for rethinking who owns and controls key productive assets.
The book explores policy and institutional routes — including public ownership, democratic governance, and social investment — to create an economy that serves broader social and environmental goals.
Lawrence draws on contemporary crises in housing, energy, and infrastructure to show the limits of privatized provision and the democratic deficits this creates.
He offers practical policy proposals for expanding public and democratic stakes in the economy while enabling innovation and productivity.
The work situates economic democracy as both normative and instrumental for addressing affordability, stability, and sustainability challenges.
