John McKnight (R) at a book signing in Albi, France, where a new French translation of The Careless Society (La Société Négligente) was unveiled. The book was published by Taget, a Swiss economic cooperative comprised of formerly mentally ill people who found McKnight’s collection of essays especially relevant. Members of the cooperative have opened groceries, bakeries, print shops, and other local enterprises throughout Switzerland.
