Community based economic democracy or capitalism
Details
Join us for an open discussion on a future world based on economically autonomous communities run as participatory democracies, in contrast to our current capitalist and colonialist system.
Questions. In a solarpunk community democracy in harmony with nature:
What is the purpose of production of goods, services, and culture? Of economic growth? Of technology?
Why do we work?
Who makes decisions and organizes workplaces and society?
What unites each community?
How do people across the globe relate?
