Our current economy must be replaced by a network of local worker owned (& self directed) co-ops.... all members of an organizing council.

Looks like a great panel.

Despite being an almost 70 y/o, third generation lower case "s" socialist, I'm a student of Richard D. Wolff's teachings, with a dash of Mr. Gar.

I find your subject matter exciting.

Public Banking and a working knowledge of the UCC (negotiable instruments) and the power of Eminent Domain can be used to help re-redistibute housing wealth in America at a time when residential real estate is being carved out and then swallowed up by hedge funds.

Love the idea of land trusts, and intentional, cooperative communities.

I look forward to learning from your programs and sharing what I learn with those who are not plagued by willful ignorance or/and cognitive dissonance.

Thank you for the words of support and encouragement. Like you, I have learned a lot from Rick and Gar. And still do!

Your comment underscores that there are many tools available to democratize the economy, and are being used to some degree or another. I believe they are are not being used to their full capacity because the predatory class controls both corporate parties.
