Our Economic Crisis: The Grand Experiment [View article]
Each other. If the current system is so obviously broken, corrupt and unjust, and we all see it, why can we not create a system that does work, that is fair and equitable, that rewards those that are honest and hardworking, and excludes those who reap monetary rewards on the backs of wage slaves? Don't get me wrong, I'm no communist....but I know that people have the ability to create positive independent systems......barter and trade systems, local currencies, and nonmarket economies that are stronger, better, more resilient, and most importantly, more equitable than the one that currently dominates our society. If we can all agree that the emperor is unclothed, can we not also be courageous enough to depose him?
