Our defining gift as humans is our power to choose, including our power to choose our collective future. It is a gift that comes with a corresponding moral responsibility to use that power in ways that work to the benefit of all people and the whole of life.

So, there is enormous instability in the global economy with a shift of winners and losers.

Global competition is about winners and losers.

Money is a mechanism for control.

We can have democracy and a prosperous, just, and sustainable human future. Or we can have corporate rule. We cannot have both.

The proper goal of an economic democracy agenda is to replace the global suicide economy ruled by rapacious and unaccountable global corporations with a planetary system of local living economies comprised of human-scale enterprise rooted in the communities they serve and locally owned by the people whose wellbeing depends on them.
