This article appeared in Alternet in July 2009. It describes why the “greenback solution” is far from adequate in solving the money problem and argues that community control of credit is the necessary prerequisite for liberation and empowerment.

- Food, population and climate change: Where are we headed and what can we do? May 10, 2012
  Here’s an excellent video that packs a lot of information into six short minutes, and does it in a way that is clear and comprehensible. It’s a good example of effective communication that I hope we can emulate to describe the problem of money, banking, finance and debt. — t.h.g.
- Big Brother is watching you…and groping, and detaining, and… April 9, 2012
  What’s next? This article by Naomi Wolff describes just how far advanced tyranny is in the United States today. With few exceptions, our national leaders who have sworn to uphold the Constitution have trampled it into the dirt. Isn’t there a name for that?–t.h.g. How the US Uses Sexual Humiliation as a Political Tool to [...]

  A Bloomberg report of February 28, 2012 describes the steps that Iceland has been taking to deal with their banking crisis. A basic feature of their policy has been debt relief for homeowners.

  It did not begin with Obama, and it will not end with him, it is a course that has been maintained by all administrations, Democrat and Republican, over many decades, but it is now approaching a climax. It’s all about control—centralized control, which leaves no room for popular participation or democratic government. The oligarchs who [...]
- Small entrepreneurs differ from Big Business March 27, 2012
  We should not confuse capitalism and corporatism with “free markets,” which I hope will always be with us, nor should we believe that mega-corporations are the same as “Mom and Pop” enterprises. The corporate “wolves” that are intent on centralizing power like to masquerade as entrepreneurial “sheep” so that th […]
- Toward a sane economics March 25, 2012
  This TEDx video by Peter Joseph, creator of the Zeitgeist movies series, contrasts two opposing economic frameworks that need to be considered in transcending our present global predicament. He shows that the entire incentive structure of the dominant paradigm of political economy is all wrong, and outlines some of the necessary attributes of a sustainable [ […]
