"SIX KEY ARGUMENTS
1. If we want to create a just and sustainable economy, we must free ourselves from the legacy of the Enlightenment’s economics of property-as illustrated by Adam Smith's silence about the role of slavery in wealth creation.
2. We can create a new economics that is grounded in the three essential aspects of all human communities: making provisions for one another, protecting one another and creating social meaning.
3. If we treat labor, land and money as providers rather than commodities, we can use what they provide and protect them from abuse.
4. As global citizens we can organize civic systems of provision (food, housing, transportation and so on) that are based on civic norms, such as reciprocity, and are responsive to supply and demand.
5. The future of our global economy depends on civic conversations in which all people are represented in deliberations on how to turn systems of provision toward justice and sustainability.
6. We can create the conditions for such civic conversations right now at school, at work, in our neighborhoods, in our associations and in government agencies."
