Econet action plan presentation

Community Economics presentation see Community Economics for the investigations.

Part I. Economics

We don't understand economics but we believe we need to

We want to investigate economics without prejudices or preconceptions

We are considering, anthropologically, the ways that economists figure things out

We collect hundreds of ways and start to notice patterns

example: personal intuition

We distill those patterns into methods and we can contrast them

We hope to systematize those methods

We can compare that with other disciplines and personalities

We can understand what economics is about and what it actually supposes and implies

for example, about exclusion and inclusion

Part II. Community Economics

We can ask whether community economics uses the same methods as economics

Whether they are the same discipline or not.

Alternatives to economics

Organizing without economics, without exclusion

Jesus: giving everything away

Florian: life as a gift sustained by more gifts

Transitioning to alternatives

Part III. Investigatory Culture

What is the culture that allows us to think fresh about economics?

A culture that is able to let go of prejudices and preconceptions

A culture that values each person in terms of their integrity

Deepest value, relationship with truth

A culture that focuses on investigations

investigatory questions, ways of figuring things out

Part IV. Practical involvement
