* a slide-size discussion starter:
– POLITICAL ECONOMY FOR HUMANITY’S PLANETARY TRUSTEESHIP
– where
– POLITICAL = methods of governance; inseparable from …..
– ECONOMY = money, business, finance for trading in all of society’s regional and global housekeeping, sharing risk and reward transparently…;
– HUMANITY’S = all of us in our interdependence(voters, activists, general public, human);
– PLANETARY = all related – biospheric /ecological /environmental concerns; the very ‘ground of our being’
– TRUSTEESHIP / VISION = recognition of the covenant between all things ‘under the rainbow’, as the ‘internet of all things’ and ‘zero marginal costing’ allow us to see ourselves at last as empathic, collaborating Homo. sapiens; bearing huge responsibility because of our consciousness and reflective ability to transform neo-liberalism into stakeholder (cooperative) uses of capital. etc..
///////////////////////////
A major effort is being made to encourage Local Global Tables, by whatever name, around the country to prosper the cause of inclusive justice in a Democracy Society. Reports will be given. Please report any initiative in this direction.
Please add your comments on the issues and actions we appraise each week.
Discussion is determined by those present. We are concentrating at this time on systemic change and the enabling contribution we are making in a bold bid to ‘a noble mission to make the earth ‘a common treasury for us all’. NOTE various contributions from associates below.
The 2015 Constitutionalists Charter is an incremental, imperfect process of evolving a People’s Political Economy of Inter-Generational Trusteeship for the Earth in a contaxt of Ecology and Evolution. It must dominate our thought and action in the next two months. Please take time to follow this practical initiative, participating in what ever ways you can. Our achievement won’t be dramatic by, May but we are gathering a large number of people and learning many lessons as we proceed. You will receive by a separate email the rich range of material we are putting together around the 2015 Constitutionalists Charter.
Thoughts encouraging collaboration……. “When individuals join in a cooperative venture, the power generated far exceeds what they could have accomplished acting individually.”— R. B. Fuller “You are not as drop in the ocean, but you are the entire ocean in a drop”.
NOTES FROM OUR ASSOCIATES:
Bill Still’s succinct Youtube reports flow in regularly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2-49Tn4Cs0&list=TLfdHRhx2dz48
Commended by Clive Menzies to everyone…. Murray Bookchin’s Ecology of Freedom which requires deep study. Sustainability and health of humans and the planet is derived from diversity rather than homogeneity – there is no hierarchy in nature and we need to emulate nature in developing non-hierarchical structures to organise human activity to deliver a co-operative global community in a sustainable world of abundance. We cannot be free until everyone is free. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_jfS4Q-k30
– At an international level, in late 2014 the WORLD COUNCIL OF CHURCHES published The Economy of Life: An Invitation to Theological Reflection and Action, a thought-provoking paper ; REPORT PLEASE if you read it!!
– Eighty People Control Half of the World’s Wealth and All of the Elected Officials Crystal Shepeard, Care2: Global poverty has continued to rise and it’s only going to get worse. Oxfam has predicted that if we do nothing, the wealthiest 1% of the world will control the same amount of wealth as the other 99% combined do.
