 Proposed Prout Conference in Madison, USA in 2012 on "Economic Democracy"

 

Namaskar,

A Proposal:
A National Conference in Madison, Wisconsin, USA in 2012 on Economic Democracy

Powerful corporate and financial interests in the United States have corrupted democracy and robbed the American public. Yet to protest is not enough. We need a clear and practical alternative that can unite progressive organizations and inspire and empower the people with a better quality of life.

We propose a national conference on economic democracy, to envision an economy of the people, by the people and for the people. It must guarantee the minimum requirements of life to all. It must strengthen local economies and cooperative enterprises. And it must empower communities to decide their economic future and stop the drainage of locally-generated money to outsiders.

The goal of the conference would be to debate these proposals and hopefully reach a broad-based consensus that can ignite the spark of radical change.

Would you be interested in taking part in such a conference?
Would you be interested in helping to organize such a conference?
We are considering holding the conference in either late summer or fall 2012. Do you have a preference?
Do you have other suggestions?

We appreciate your feedback. These ideas of Economic Democracy are fundamental to the Progressive Utilization Theory or Prout, an alternative to global capitalism.
