Beyond state capitalism: The commons economy in our lifetimes

18 September 2017 2 Comments

"In considering the essential problem of how to produce and distribute material wealth, virtually all of the great economists in Western history have ignored the significance of the commons — the shared resources of nature and society that people inherit, create and utilize.

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
