Taxing Commercial Uses of the Global Commons
Taxing Commercial Uses of the Global Commons http://www.ethicalmarkets.com/2010/10/19/financial-transaction-taxes-the-com... (see http://p2pfoundation.net/Taxing_Commercial_Uses_of_the_Global_Commons) Dear Hazel, in the above article you write: "In 1995, I co-organized the NGO, Global Commission to Fund the United Nations with many proposals for taxing commercial uses of the global commons: atmosphere, climate, oceans, biodiversity, the electromagnetic spectrum, space and the newest commons: the global financial system. The Commission’s report The UN: Policy and Financing Alternatives, eds. Harlan Cleveland, Hazel Henderson and Inge Kaul (Elsevier Science 1995), examined such taxes to help provide global public goods: health, education, access to clean water, food and basic human needs" I'm very interested in pushing this back on the agenda ... is there any way to have access to the full electonic text of that document, and any of your own explanatory writings on the topic?

I basically inherited (after paying back-taxes) | an isolated, derelict trailer-park which is being | transformed without the interference of cultural bureaucrats | into a working resource for creative pursuits. The financial | overhead is practically non-existent; creative applicants are | told the location of the Trailer-Park and given written permission | to abide there. Usually some structural and creative contribution | is made to the Park during your stay. No application fees, slides, | references, or resumes are required or desired. A questionnaire is | sent to all applicants. The current residents will invite new | applicants to visit. APPLICATIONS FOR THE NEXT SEASON ARE BEING | PERUSED NOW; an electronic response is preferred. =-=-=v-=-==-=-=vvvv-=-=-=-v=-=v=-===-=-=vv-=-=-=v-=-=-vv=-v-==-=-=-=v=-v-=-v-v only the artists capable of dragging the mystic power out of themselves seem able to work productively within the breakdown of our society... * Al-Shira-al-jamanija Burning-Man Event
