Activating the Common Good: Reclaiming Control of Our Collective Well-Being - Peter Block
Shared by:hdgdf
A powerful, inspiring, and achievable vision of a society based on cooperation and community instead of competition and commodification.
This book counters the dominant and destructive story that we are polarized, violent, selfish, and destined to consume everything in sight. That is not who we are.
The challenge, Peter Block says, is that we are suffering under an economic theology that is based on scarcity, self-interest, competition, and infinite growth. We’re told we can purchase and outsource all that matters. Block calls this the “business perspective narrative.” It dominates not only the economy but also architecture, faith communities, journalism, arts, neighborhoods, and much more.
Block offers an the “common good narrative.” It embodies the belief that we are basically communal and cooperative. And that we have the capacity to communally produce what we care most raising a child, safety, livelihood, health, and a clean and sustainable environment.
This book describes how shifts to the common good perspective could transform many areas, fostering journalism that reports on what works, architecture that designs habitable spaces creating connection, faith collectives that build community, a market that is restrained and local, and leadership and activism that build social capital by creating trust among citizens. With these shifts, we would fundamentally change the world we live in for the better.

marrying truth to obvious lies. The dialectic has grown sick, weak, and irrelevant.
I am still waiting to see how you marry fighting for the underdog and the collective, while your existence is solely predicated on the support of the elites.
marry that-
If you want to know why the left is dead, look no further
Don’t worry the right is not far behind you. There is a new alignment taking place and so too the death of the old dynamics

Dear SantaFe32, you are a poet, a magician of words … almost as good as caesarXXX himself… (/s, if that wasn’t obvious :-D)

Thank you! This is similar to the videos Zeitgeist: Addendum and Zeitgeist: Moving Forward, both excellent for ideas of where we need to go as a species.
