Most of us believe we have no control over the economy ("we're just along for the ride") and that capitalism is our only option. Neither is true. Many of all political viewpoints cynically, but accurately, believe it primarily benefits the wealthy. It does not have to. We can re-define (the rules of) the economy not to focus on growth or markets or shareholder primacy or profit or benefits mostly to the wealthy (that might trickle down) but rather providing economic security through a more cooperative, egalitarian system that provides basic needs, and a few wants, to all. The workshop will focus on how we can re-define the economy in our own minds to enable everyone to benefit while significantly reducing both poverty and wealth inequality. We'll also find ways to practice the new economy in our day-to-day lives.
