sustainability not capitalism

The world needs a new, nonviolent, non-trashing, economic and social system: wholosophy is a term I use (web-search for more). Here's a Blog that suggests what that Better New World could look like - a co-operative, fair-world, not-hierarchical possibility - based on an ethic and practice of peace, nonviolence minimized harm and maximized well-being. And by Tuesday! For more - please ask for a Reader - from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives

About Me

John Courtneidge
Ottawa, Canada
Really, I'm not sure that who I am, and what I do is not very relevant? I think that it's what we share, that is! However, for those interested - visit www.interestfreemoney.org - the 'Papers' section has s lot of relevant written stuff. For those who like to know about such things, I've been around on this planet for fifty-six years, started off in London, England, taught chemistry, have a PhD in chemistry from UCL (University College, London), and have owned and co-run a small-holding and a nursery/garden centre in the past (that taught me what capitalism is!). Religiously/spiritually I started off Anglican and am now happily Quaker. I'm a dad, grand-dad, husband, co-operator, pacifist, a non-authoritarian (I hope!!) 'co-operative socialist' - working as best I can to help create a fair, and thus safe and peaceful, world (that's the 'Fair World Project' bit!).
