Living Through the Death of Capitalism | Joe Brewer

17 November 2016 Leave a Comment

"Humanity is in the crucible of change now. It is an all-hands-on-deck transition — away from life destroying economic practices based on wealth hoarding and extraction and toward life affirming practices of regeneration and renewal. "For it will be the beacons of light we carry that will show others the way forward. For my part, I am working with social movements to connect the dots of wealth extraction and training change makers in the art and science of intentional social change. I have seen … Continue reading

Dreaming Beyond Capitalism: A Culture Without Fear

2 August 2016 Leave a Comment

An insightful article in Kosmos Journal from our community friends at Terra Nova Voice, Tamera, Portugal.... "First Nation tribes from North America coined a term to describe the ‘disease of the white man’ – wetiko*. In their understanding, wetiko consists of two essential characteristics: chronic inability for empathy and an egoistic fixation on one's own personal benefit and profit. The First Peoples used this word specifically because they could not fathom any other explanation for the … 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

Say goodbye to capitalism: welcome to the Republic of Wellbeing

7 September 2015 Leave a Comment

"Imagine a country genuinely committed to pursuing the sustainable development goals (SDGs), set to be agreed on by the international community later this month. It would place emphasis on human and ecosystem wellbeing as the ultimate objective of progress. This country – let’s call it the Republic of Wellbeing – and its business sector would need to embark on a profound transformation to achieve durable, long-term change. "Around the world today, companies and governments do precisely the … Continue reading

Beyond Extinction – Transition to Post-Capitalism is Inevitable

6 August 2015 Leave a Comment

"Our task today is to accelerate the process of transition to post-capitalism by creating and implementing it here and now, in the bowels of a dying system. We may well fail in doing so — but the point is precisely to broaden the horizons of the present so that we become cognizant of possibilities that lead beyond it, to plant seeds that might blossom in years and decades to come as governments fall and economies rupture. "We need to work together to craft new visions, values and worldviews; to … Continue reading

Sustainable development is failing but there are alternatives to capitalism

24 July 2015 Leave a Comment

"All over the world, environmental justice movements are challenging growth-oriented development and neoliberal capitalism. "But critique is not enough: we need our own narratives. Deconstructing development opens up the door for a multiplicity of new and old notions and world views. This includes buen vivir (or sumak kawsay or suma qamaña), a culture of life with different names and varieties emerging from indigenous peoples in various regions of South America; ubuntu, with its emphasis on … Continue reading

The end of capitalism has begun

22 July 2015 Leave a Comment

Without us noticing, we are entering the postcapitalist era. At the heart of further change to come is information technology, new ways of working and the sharing economy. The old ways will take a long while to disappear, but it’s time to be utopian. Read the full story by Paul Mason.... Continue reading

Beyond capitalism and socialism: could a new economic approach save the planet?

25 April 2015 Leave a Comment

"A holistic approach to the economy is necessary to avoid social, environmental and economic collapse, according to a new report by the Capital Institute. "To avoid social, environmental and economic collapse, the world needs to move beyond the standard choices of capitalism or socialism. That’s the conclusion of a new report released Wednesday by US think tank Capital Institute. "The non-partisan think tank argues that both systems are unsustainable, even if flawlessly executed, and that … Continue reading

Capitalism Is Just a Story – Rise Up and Create a New One

23 April 2015 Leave a Comment

"How many of us have a sneaking suspicion that something pretty fundamental is going wrong in the world? We keep hearing about the potentially devastating consequences of climate change but we are pumping more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every single year. We are forced into economic crisis after economic crisis and the only people who aren’t brought to their knees are those that cause it. In fact, they often just get richer and more powerful while the rest of us work harder and harder … Watch video
