   Be the Bank You Want to See in the World [image: [image: Enric Duran]]

If 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
<https://www.vice.com/read/be-the-bank-you-want-to-see-in-the-world-0000626-v22n4>,
I go face-to-face with Duran and on a tour of his remarkable undertakings.

I had a great time speaking about *God in Proof* at St. Thomas University
<http://theaquinian.net/occupy-journalist-gives-dollard-lecture-thursday/>
in Fredericton, Canada. I talked about cooperativism on *Majority Report
with Sam Seder*
<http://majority.fm/2015/03/30/mm-monday-nathan-schneider-the-cooperative-economy/>
and at Civic Hall
<http://techpresident.com/news/25485/thinking-outside-boss-interest-rising-cooperative-alternatives-sharing-economy>
with a panel of sagely organizers and thinkers. I upset some white people
<http://americamagazine.org/issue/no-white-man-innocent> and prayed the
Angelus <http://americamagazine.org/content/all-things/angelus-work>.
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 <http://www.therowboat.com/open-journalism/> 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.
