A great read from YES! Magazine on the growing momentum and convergence in the New Economy movement. Fran Korten lists 7 actions to move towards more equitable, prosperous economies: - Place ownership in the hands of real people, not globalized corporations; - Localize control of food, energy, land, housing, retail; - Advance cooperative enterprises where workers share in profits and decision-making; - Shift from fossil fuels to renewables and from destructive to regenerative agriculture; - Expand credit unions, community banks, and public banks so that finance benefits communities rather than Wall Street; - Reform trade rules to reduce the power of global corporations and enable local economies to flourish; - Adopt a worldview that we humans are part of the ecosystem and our economy must work with nature rather than against it.
