Simplicity of currency design and its impact for a sustainable, empowered future

1 July 2017 2 Comments

Can currency be a vehicle to achieve sustainable practice and shift us from a 'money status economy' to a 'quality status economy'? Frederick Malouf thinks so. Frederick's education in architecture supported his thinking outside the box. This prompted him to leave his old world behind to travel randomly without money, visiting 33 countries in 7 years. Radio beckoned as the platform to research sustainability further and now he happily broadcasts progressive ideas with ambient tunes on Theqse … Continue reading

Can We Let Capitalism Die and Move On?

17 May 2016 Leave a Comment

"Death can be very painful and confusing. This is true for economic systems just as it is for personal loved ones. Moving on is just a hard thing to do. "… will the 7.4 billion humans alive today be capable of letting capitalism die with dignity? I’ve been writing a lot lately about how the pain we feel is capitalism dying, that the mental disease of shame and humiliation is due to late-stage capitalism, how a healing process is needed, and the brokenness we feel in our own lives is what makes … Continue reading

The Commons Collaborative Economy Explodes in Barcelona

28 April 2016 Leave a Comment

"Barcelona is not a city in reform from the top down; it’s a city in transformation from the bottom up, and up, and up. It’s taking on the challenges of economic and civic change from an inclusive and deliberate position, maturing its street-level praxis into a political force that won’t be contained by its own borders. It’s ready to share its hard-won knowledge and experience with others internationally. "Barcelona is not alone in its evolution. From our point of view, 2016 is shaping up to be … Continue reading

The Alternative to Capitalism

18 April 2016 Leave a Comment

"The alternative to capitalism is “Kemitism”.... a need based economy, which philosophy is that all people have inalienable rights to land and natural resources on earth. Everything which is not created by humans, like land, air, water, and natural resources could not be owned and should be regarded as commons. "The community has an obligation to make basic resources available to all members as a human right. The right to land is the first one. Right to habitat is second. The right to … Continue reading

Small Is Still Beautiful

29 September 2015 Leave a Comment

"As Americans continue to climb their way back from the nosedive that started in 2008, we’d be wise to think twice before putting our faith in rebuilding the very institutions and cultural mythologies that were, at least in part, responsible for getting us in so much trouble in the first place. For all of globalization’s gifts — an increased sense of empathy for those on the other side of the world, being my personal favorite — one of the burdens has been feeling entangled in an economic web so … Continue reading

Five ways people are building a new economy

19 September 2015 Leave a Comment

"Grassroots projects are springing up across the UK to empower local people and build communities.... "A new economy is coming into play. No longer wielded as a weapon to legitimise austerity, this is an economy where the community and the environment, not the corporate shareholder, benefits. "Beneath its ruthless, business-as-usual veneer, Britain hosts a colourful array of grassroots enterprises. Some of these are sparked into action by artists or dynamic working groups, many are … Continue reading
