Economy

What’s next for all of us is at the intersection between big and small, system and life world, institution and citizen

For the nations that got on it from the start, the COVID-19 first phase is spent. That means that it is done. Even though money seems to have grown on trees, even those magic money trees seem to have a limit to their yield. Even if the powers that be could keep going to the magic garden of money trees, they are signalling that they too are contemplating the possibility that if all the leaves are plucked the tree will stop giving altogether.

What Piano and Social Procurement Have in Common

Unbearably practical words pointing to where new worlds of wonder await

So much mystery and romance are conjured by the word piano. The piano is a powerfully evocative musical instrument. A piano is capable of sounding as many notes, and by some mysterious art even more, as a pianist has fingers and in endless combination. The harpsichord, the piano’s predecessor, could do all that too.

The Way to a Marketplace Revolution (Podcast)

David LePage releases new book pointing the way to a Social Value Marketplace

David LePage, managing partner of Buy Social Canada, has just written and released a new book, Marketplace Revolution — from Concentrated Wealth to Community Capital. In this well-timed and pioneering work, David makes it very clear that the pathway to a more egalitarian and healthy society is in plain view. In straightforward and practical terms he shows how the purchasing power community anchor institutions like cities, hospitals, universities, and businesses could create an entirely different kind of economy, one he calls a Social Value Marketplace.
