Highly recommended #longread by @ntnsndr on how to scale mutualist economies in the US: nonprofitquarterly.org/how-to-restore… My big picture take on the #economy is that we must democratize it to protect our #democracy. We can design our economy to hold us together, united in diversity.

We need #CalAccount now for fee-free banking in California. When people can avoid bank fees and interest charges, more money stays in the pockets of working families, helping cover essential needs like food and rent.

Check out the 1st installment of a conversation series I hosted w/ the authors of an inspiring new book, “Assets in Common,” about how shared & steward ownership cos. can move us faster to a #DemocraticEconomy by pooling their resources. shareable.net/assets-in-comm…


One of my favorite causes, the Institute for Local Self Reliance, is now 50 years old. I love their focus & they've created incredible impact. Check out the video, you'll be inspired: youtu.be/Wp_DNUXVDt8?si… h/t @gfriend


Highly recommended for a unique & enlivening There Are Many Alternatives (TAMA instead of Thatcher's TINA) take on our economy: @davidbollier's Frontiers of Commoning podcast. Start w/ his interview of @ntnsndr about his new book, "Governable Spaces." bollier.org/blog/nathan-sc…


The US could use more of this ambitious populists economic thinking right now, but I don't see it. Does anyone know of something similar being planned today?

Benjamin Disraeli once said, "Read no history: nothing but biography, for that is life without theory." In that vein, check out the intro to the intellectual biography of my friend @mbauwens: 4thgenerationcivilization.substack.com/p/ken-wilber-i…


The NGO I co-founded @Shareable created this video w/ @RuralPowerNow explaining the importance of rural electric co-ops & the surprisingly important role they can play in a renewal energy transition. Check it out.

⚡Our new animated short, “Power to the People: The Story of Rural Electric Cooperatives,” illustrates how rural America can learn from the past and lead the clean energy transition to a greener, more equitable future. 💡#RuralPower youtube.com/watch?v=10O2ya…



Check out my friend @ntnsndr's new book. It points to the totalitarian nature of the most popular online spaces, the danger they pose to democracies & explores solutions. Free digital versions available.

TODAY IS THE DAY. Allow me to introduce you to my new book, "Governable Spaces: Democratic Design for Online Life" (w/ beautiful illustrations). It's about democracy in our everyday internet-lives. And it's FREE to the internet from @ucpress: nathanschneider.info/govbook



I had fun discussion about the intersection of bioregionalism & solidarity economies w/ friends on the @doomeroptimism podcast recently. Here's a clip from it. Big thanks to @dlondonwortel @cognazor & @RizomaSchool (the anti-spreadsheet brain activist, among other things).

No @DoomerOptimism episode today, however, there is a new clip on YouTube from the discussion in DO 196 with @gorenflo, @dlondonwortel, @RizomaSchool, and @cognazor youtu.be/3UuqQkyEWSI
