so, if there are any subsections you feel very strongly about, and feel the message should be emphasized, let me know, and I'll factor them in ...
perhaps you could send me 3 to 5 suggestions ... we can do a 'retrospective book of the week' for it ...
Thanks, Michel. I've attached an odt file with four excerpts
I wonder, have you studied a bit distributism, social credit and binary economics .. would be really interested in knowing how you position mutualism vis a vis these movements .. (also for publication)
Not enough time to compose a thoughtful analysis right now, I'm afraid. Suffice it to say I view them and mutualism as together comprising a community of "petty bourgeois deviationists." They all see the system of corporate capitalism as bad, with its concentrated wealth and centralized enterprise; they all see it as somehow the result of privilege and corporate-government collusion; and they all desire in some way to counteract privilege and restore a society of economic democracy and widely distributed ownership. They disagree mainly on the solution.
