Two new articles and an extended interview

First and foremost, I want to thank the Capital Institute for the excellent, in-depth interview and profile they’ve just posted.  It’s always a pleasure to talk to people who fully understand the necessity of systemic change in the economic system, and I’m grateful not just for this piece, but also for the excellent and comprehensive “Field Study” they did of the Evergreen Cooperatives.

Second, Alternet just posted my review of journalist Maria Armoudian’s Kill the Messenger: The Media’s Role in the Fate of the World, an excellent and much-needed look at the power of the media to knit communities together or tear them apart.  Armoudian’s book explains “two things: first, how deeply the media can affect our lives—for good or bad—and second, now more than ever, it is vital to create, empower and support responsible media that educate, explain, and elevate, and to discard those approaches that merely blame, deprecate and divide.”  Read the full review on Alternet.

And finally, for those who have access to a university library, be sure to check out my article “The Emerging Paradoxical Possibility of a Democratic Economy” in the Review of Social Economy (Volume 69, Issue 3, 2011).
