- New report about alternative economy practices. This Center survey asked Americans about their perspectives on our current economy, their knowledge and acceptance of economic alternatives to capitalism, and the role corporations play in shaping a sustainable future. 60% of Americans support alternative economy practices like sharing, banking at credit unions, shopping at co-ops and giving to mutual aid networks, but face financial and logistical barriers to participation.
