On Friday October 28 Peter Senge spoke at the Cleveland Social Venture's conference on Social Innovation. Do you have any ideas for solving key social issues we can explore together and perhaps put actions to?
Share stories, photos, videos, and links. Friendly debates.
Start a movement, join a movement.
Look back on what we've done.
A cooperative of cooperatives! Co-op's covering Banking, Communications, Energy and Food (Agriculture, Processing and Preparation). Without a system of "at-cost" products and services, the market will always drive prices higher, either through inflation or through a perceived scarcity. Additionally, with this co-op of co-op's, efficiencies created within the system, create added value that can only lead to lower prices. In the for-profit world, lower costs accrue to the corporation and its shareholders only. Conversely, co-op's cost savings accrue to all patrons/members. Co-op's are the only way to save the economy and make it sustainable. Profit in our economy accrues only to the 1%. Conversely, in a co-op "profit" accrues to all equally.
