<p style="font-family:Gentium,'Gentium Basic','Century Schoolbook L','new century schoolbook','Century Schoolbook',schoolbook,palatino,georgia,serif;line-height:1.6">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. <a href="https://www.vice.com/read/be-the-bank-you-want-to-see-in-the-world-0000626-v22n4" target="_blank">In
this month's issue of <em>VICE</em> magazine</a>, I
go face-to-face with Duran and on a tour of his
remarkable undertakings.</p>

about <em>God in Proof</em> <a href="http://theaquinian.net/occupy-journalist-gives-dollard-lecture-thursday/" target="_blank">at

talked about cooperativism <a href="http://majority.fm/2015/03/30/mm-monday-nathan-schneider-the-cooperative-economy/" target="_blank">on

That's part of my ongoing experiments in
#SlowComputing—for the most part, trying to use <a href="http://www.therowboat.com/open-journalism/" target="_blank">community-driven
software</a> rather than profit-driven stuff. (Stay
tuned for an article on the subject in <em>The New
Republic</em>.) 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.</p>
