Most of us believe we have no control over the economy (“we’re just along for the ride”) and that the current way the economy is structured now is our only option. Neither is true. But, what IS the purpose of the economy now and, maybe more importantly, what SHOULD it be? These questions could be answered especially in light of our knowledge of the Nearings and their lives and beliefs. Results of our answers will be compared to a survey conducted at the polls on Election Day, 2024. In small groups, we can consensually re-define what the economy should be for and then at least begin to figure out (or even plan if there is enough agreement) how to re-make the economy as a group and/or individually. We’ll also identify ways to practice the new economy in our day-to-day lives.
