Be the Bank You Want to See in the WorldIf you could make a new economy from the ground up, what would it look like? Enric Duran has tried—twice. In 2008 he became famous after borrowing half a million dollars from Spain's banks and refusing to give it back. He then masterminded the Catalan Integral Cooperative, a network of independent workers that may just represent the future of work altogether. Now, still in hiding because of his heist, Duran is orchestrating his next utopia, a cryptocurrency-infused global financial system. In this month's issue of VICE magazine, I go face-to-face with Duran and on a tour of his remarkable undertakings. Read the article VICE's website or look through the print version. While you're at it, retweet this. In other newsI had a great time speaking about God in Proof at St. Thomas University in Fredericton, Canada. I talked about cooperativism on Majority Report with Sam Seder and at Civic Hall with a panel of sagely organizers and thinkers. I upset some white people and prayed the Angelus. New look!If you've received this newsletter in the past, you might have noticed that it used to come from MailChimp, and now it doesn't. That's part of my ongoing experiments in #SlowComputing—for the most part, trying to use community-driven software rather than profit-driven stuff. (Stay tuned for an article on the subject in The New Republic.) Since coding universally compatible emails is sort of a nightmare, there are sure to be glitches. Please let me know if there any problems with this email on your end. |
