Hello all,

The quick answer of why it is taking so long for the ownership movement to 
get off the ground is that too few have read seriously the main writings that 
explain "why" broadened ownership is needed to make the global economy work.  
Most proponents remain focussed on the "how", but the "how's" only make sense 
when people understand the "why's."  For those interested in the reasons and 
principles underlying the ESOP, click on  <A 
HREF="http://www.cesj.org/binary_economics/binary_econ_review-nk.html";>Book 
Review of Binary Economics</A> and then carefully read the book.  This will 
explain why people in this movement are still talking past each other.  Also 
read chapter 18 of Bill Greider's book, "One World, Ready or Not", which, for 
those who are interested, is reviewed in the Winter 1997 issue of CESJ's 
Economic Justice Monitor.  Dan Bell has suggested a new discussion group on 
"The Economics of Ownership" to look at these issues.  Let us know if you are 
interested in participating in such a group.  Norm Kurland, CESJ,
