I'm looking forward to this on Monday evening. If you think the money system is the root of the problem, and the potential solution, this will be of interest. Come along and join the conversation.
Not long now until the #ValueBeyondMoney event in #Totnes on Monday. Tickets here: bit.ly/4gOTZ4W. @SchumacherColl @JayTompt @robintransition @transitiontowns @TTTotnes @REconomyCentre

This will be an innovative course, I think, linking with the intellectual & academic heritage of @SchumacherColl while stretching into new territory apropos the current state of our collective predicament. Please share.

"An obsession with growth has generated massive inequality, undermined global economic stability, and weakened faith in democracy. Reversing these trends requires reining in the power of financial capital and managing global trade flows." @AnnPettifor carnegieendowment.org/resear…

Indeed! If THE RICHEST don't pay their fair share in #taxes they are benefitting from public education, public infrastructure, public security and so on, without paying for them. They are acting like LARGE SCALE SHOPLIFTERS!
Taxation is the price we pay for a civilized society, where multinationals and the rich should pay their fair share.
Tax Wars - the story of @icrict and our work fighting for a fairer world - is out now in over 10 countries and more soon. Please watch it if you can!

My take on the green subsidies trade war. Put up tariffs if you must, but the moral, economic, environmental arguments are on the side of those that subsidize green products, not those who want to tax them. project-syndicate.org/commen…

Many who've had contact with Schumacher College in one form or another have probably heard that it’s in crisis. It's an interesting story, including our opportunities for reinvention. This is what it looks like from my perspective. Warning: it’s long.

Here's a quick roundup of highlights from research we published in 2022, on capitalism, imperialism, degrowth and decolonization. It's all open-access, and free PDFs are available via the link at the end of the thread. 🧵
Brilliant analysis.
🧵An unprecedented global consensus on ‘transitioning away from fossil fuels’ arrived at #COP28 – it fell drastically short of a ‘phase out’ agreement, but the culprits for that are perhaps not who you first suspect /1 bylinetimes.com/2023/12/12/k…
The Regenerative Enterprise module of our Regenerative Economics MA is also offered as a short course. Could be the one of last opportunities to experience our kind of transformative education, at least in this field & in this place. See you in January?
