I've been distracted in sorting out computer related glitches which are not quite finished. I work in as much of an open source manner as possible, guided in part at least by functionality in the democratic interest. Capitalism as it is structured by the current money manager permutation, is not a product of equilibrium models based upon a whole range of entitlements. Working as intensely as I can toward a Kickstarter Proposal for Re-Imagining Economics and for moving the CRX into an open source community exchange utility. To the extent that we really have to "imagine" our way forward we need to understand the range of choices and policies. It has to meet some standard of results and objectives

I believe that what we have received as the model interpretation of the "Rochdale Principles" was done by a journalist from outside of that community or direct participation in a similar mutual aid society. Here, I cannot express strongly enough how important it is to place the importance of the sustainability of the Rochdale Equitable Pioneer Society in the history and economics of its time and place. Nearly nothing has been written that I am aware of that places the Rochdale success in its economic and historical context. The fact that the working class population was still shifting from a long craft tradition into the capitalism of Adam Smith. Likewise the whole hedging of social capacities was important, as a counter point to the privatization of the marketplace by the effective polity. Consciously restructuring local economies is necessary and it requires re-imagined tools. In time I will post sections. as we go, Tadit
