Since Gar Alperovitz seems concerned about the direction of capital control might be heading, I wonder how many members of the Evergreen Cooperatives hold seats on the Boards of Directors of so-called "anchor institutions" in Cleveland. This might significantly influence new job creation in terms...

The oil barons lose? The transnational media corporations fold? The lobbyists are expelled? The corrupt governors get recalled? When we speak up, we get what we want?

When did all of this happen, Thom? Governor Scott Walker might be on his way out. But even that still remains to be seen. Your cl...

@gendertrouble Plenty of people are talking and writing about Economic Democracy. You simply aren't paying much attention.The greatest break-through for Economic Democracy would be for people like us to wake up and take responsibility for ourselves and our communities. Get over yourself. The Amer...

Yeah, the lyrical sentiment is nice. But how come the video shows George playing one guitar solo while the audio is playing another? Can we thank Paul McCartney for that editorial dishonesty, or is someone else trying to insult our collective intelligence?

You try to make it look so pretty. But "shared capitalism" does not empower workers with democratic control of the decisions that profoundly affect their lives. It only provides them with a "share" in their inevitable demise. In fact, "employee ownership" and "democratic capitalism" are both oxym...

Is this some kind of sick justification for racism or racial superiority? Something tells me the "Basque" people are better than that.

@johnniefive80 Go easy on Michael. Settle down! He's middle-class, just like you, and he's trying to defend the middle-class. And that's what life is all about, isn't it? The middle-class and the American Dream! Making sure you get to the dinner table first so somebody else doesn't take the last ...

This is not very informative. Are there any additional videos about the Evergreen Cooperative Laundry?

Whether it's hip hop or something else, the volume of the music should not compete with the volume of the speakers. Right now, I think it does, and the information is SOOO important.

@7ito1990 Here's another idea. Instead of manufacturing full-blown free energy systems, why not at least manufacture and distribute the parts which can be assembled by consumers in the privacy of their own homes? This is the approach that Montana advocates of automatic weapons have taken to evade...

@SirBarzdevics Second best. "Something" was the best, and George probably played that bass part, too.

Would somebody mind translating this to English? I am very interested in learning more about Mondragon principles and the teachings of Father Don Jose Maria. But I don't undersand the Basque language. Perhaps that's my problem. But I think the problem is much bigger than just 'me', and so is the ...

Magnetic technology is perfectly viable. But investors will never get rich from technology that provides cost-free energy for everyone everywhere forever. This idea can only be proliferated through a steady-state economy that creates new jobs for community improvement regardless of financial retu...

"Asked whether the sudden introduction of his principle would upset the present economic system, Dr. Tesla replied, 'It is badly upset already.' He added that now as never before was the time ripe for the development of new resources." -- The Philadelphia Public Ledger (1933)

Good luck with it, ...

Good talk, Mike. Nice job. I learned some new things. I hope you'll answer all my emails. Thanks!

So you managed to 'stay put'. Congratulations. What are you doing to deliberately proliferate worker cooperatives to create new jobs in your area? Why aren't you pooling surplus with other cooperatives to establish new cooperatives and create new jobs? Instead of handing out bonuses to your membe...

Worker-cooperatives don't spread in the U.S. because existing worker-coops do not deliberately create new jobs for the unemployed. New job creation is the primary objective at Mondragon, not an arbitrary byproduct.

Worker coops in the U.S. are what Don Jose Maria and Greg MacLeod have called 'ex...

@HowTheWorldWorks This is beautiful. Thanks so much for reproducing David Harvey's in-depth analysis and for validating it with your attempted 'critique'. You're doing the world a great service. Keep up the good work.

My God has a bigger dick than your God. And by the way, my dick is bigger than yours. But even more to the point, this dingbat has some really big boobies. Whatever happened to Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather, David Brinkley, Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow? Somewhere, in the course of "progress", we...

@Sthernguy1 Your claim is true only in the presence of antagonism between wage laborers and the owners of capital. Remove the antagonism by facilitating democratic self-management, and governance need not grow. In fact, economic growth becomes an elective rather than an imperative as the maintena...
