"This is a dangerous book--it could revolutionize capitalism. It's also a conservative book--it could save capitalism from its own tragic flaws. Every thoughtful citizen should read it."
--Frances Moore Lappe, author of Diet for a Small Planet and Democracy's Edge

"Peter Barnes, a co-founder of Working Assets, has another important idea: Capitalism 3.0. This version of capitalism can save the planet, redress many inequities of wealth, and reclaim the commons--our air, our water, our airwaves, and more. Here is capitalism as you've never seen it before. Take a look!"
--George Lakoff, author of Don't Think of an Elephant and Whose Freedom?

"Reading Capitalism 3.0 is like putting on a new pair of glasses. It is clearly written, provocative, and fresh. And it offers a sharp new tool for solving the problem of capitalism's threat to the commons."
--Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore's Dilemma

"Using his years of experience as a successful entrepreneur, Barnes shows how capitalism can be upgraded so that it protects rather than devours our planet. Required reading for everyone who looks further than the next quarter's results."
--Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Senior Attorney, Natural Resources Defense Council

"Barnes' concept of commons trusts is nothing short of brilliant. If applied on a large scale, it would fundamentally change capitalism. This idea has legs."
--Marjorie Kelly, author of The Divine Right of Capital

"Barnes shows us how to build a new economic sector that is held in trust for future generations. Ecosystems and their services would be managed for long-term benefit rather than short-term profit, and all Americans would get cash dividends."
--Ben Cohen, Co-Founder, Ben & Jerry's

"Barnes has opened the dialogue of the 21st century. He takes the traditional concept of the commons and marries it to the institutions of modern capitalism. In so doing he exposes those who take from the commons without paying, then make the rest of us buy back what we already own."
--Carl Pope, Executive Director, Sierra Club
