DISCUSSION: Browse Discussion to Date.

ECONOMICS OF EMPOWERMENT GROUP: This group is a discussion forum for participants who support the values and goals expressed in the Statement of Shared Vision. The group's purpose is to discuss ideas for implementing the Statement's goals in a harmonious environment.

We request that subscribers to this discussion indicate their support of the Shared Vision Statement and following the instructions to be added to the list of supporters.

As moderator of this discussion, Richard Stutsman sees his role as limited to monitoring the submissions and perhaps, occasionally, to remind participants of the group's charter and to keep postings professional and non-personal and non-libelous.

Of course, Richard will also make his own "inspirational" comments from time to time, provided that his comments do not undermine or betray the Statement of Shared Vision.

Following is also a select bibliography of relevant articles that participants may find useful when participating in the discussion:
