Ha! So true, good yarn is not cheap! Also, people say that like it'd be a bad thing?

I saw your post while scrolling bsky, & watching a YouTube interview with Clara Mattei, Professor of Economics, on this program called Ways to Change the World.

"Community-based economic alternatives not only help meet material needs and model the values we espouse, but also create new spaces for working-class people and people of color to control assets and develop the muscles for economic self-governance." #democraticeconomy

Supporting Visions of New Economic Power (SSIR) Visionary solidarity economy projects are putting down roots in communities across the United States. But philanthropy will be needed for these seeds to bear fruit.

In a time when I am feeling helpless to the forces devastating our politics, economy, and environment, this article shines a light on ways we can rethink our economic system and create alternative, community-controlled institutions for a #democraticeconomy. Sharing my favorite quotes in the thread.

Ownership & Capital:

All productive assets are socially owned

Capital is allocated transparently by an independent authority

Profits go to social dividends, not private pockets

AI and automation aren’t neutral—they accelerate capitalism’s assault on workers. The only way to survive this tech surge is a democratic economy that serves people, not profit. Act now, or be crushed by the dictatorship of capital. #DemocraticEconomy #TechForPeople

Just back from leave and looking forward to the busy week ahead where I’ll be attending some great events on #coops & the #DemocraticEconomy.

We really enjoyed reading through the Co-operative and Mutual Economy Report 2025 from @cooperativesuk.bsky.social . It's exciting to see our sector growing, but investment and support are crucial for the Government to double the sector. www.uk.coop/sites/defaul...

Spot on and succinct video on #crisisofcapitalism and in support of #democraticeconomy

We are in a full-blown cost of living crisis. The U.S.’ median income is just over $80,000 a year, yet to live comfortably in Mississippi—the U.S.’s most affordable state--a family of four would need to make around $190,000 in 2025. All of this in a nation where the richest 1% of Americans make 139 times as much as the bottom 20%. When we discuss population, we must take care to clearly identify the constellation of social and economic factors at play. This means explicitly naming the culprits that are creating an environment rife with both climate catastrophe and conditions hostile to children and families—corporate power and concentrated wealth. We face neither a crisis of scarcity nor a crisis of population. Rather, we face a crisis of capitalism. The solution is a democratic economy with rules against monopoly and an adequate safety net that provides the resources we all need to thrive.
