I would like to invite all GTI members to read our TruthOut article “Competing with Capitalism to Maximize Well-Being.”
As discussed in the article, I am pleased to announce formation of the LEDDA Partnership, which should have a natural affinity with GTI. The partnership is intended to become a diverse, global association of academic, civil society, government, business, and philanthropy groups focused on development and testing of the LEDDA framework. The LEDDA framework is the parallel, local economic–financial–business–social welfare system described in my 2014 book, Economic Direct Democracy: A Framework to End Poverty and Maximize Well-Being. A free PDF copy of the book is available at our website.
As described in the “10-Year Strategic Plan for the LEDDA Partnership,” we see this as a 10-year, $70 million project. A computer simulation model has been published that illustrates how the proposed system could increase family incomes, produce income equality, and channel billions annually toward local businesses, nonprofits, and other organizations, even in an average-size US county.
I invite all GTI members to participate in the partnership, and to pose questions or offer comments on the TruthOut article, the strategic plan, the simulation model, or any other aspect of our project.
