*“Hands-On Democracy”

*“Hands-On Democracy”

As I wrote down the guiding principles and specific ideas on “Hands-On Democracy” earlier this year, I started getting a real sense of how adopting such techniques of governance, putting day-to-day decision-making more directly into the hands of the citizens, how transformative that would be, how we will change our politics and integrate it into daily society, and that was said last session to be part of the advance toward Light and Life.  I don’t have the same sense of just where and how economic institutions can be restructured to fit the picture, might there be others who are seeing clearly now how to put together these insights and ideas we will have for the future?    http://www.HandsOnDemocracy.org

MACHIVENTA:  Thank you for your question; this is Machiventa:  Yes, there are individuals who have given this a great deal of thought.  We are operating on several levels, as you are aware, one of the great desires that we have is to create with mortals, a cultural change, an acceptance of the slow transitions of the archaic to the more effective forms of thinking culturally about an individual’s life, individually and collectively.  The thought that economically the “have nots must have,” and culturally, how do we begin the inception of this idea.  You might recognize in the two Nobel Laureates for Economics this year, that there is something significant about their work, that this is a cultural change that will bring about great progress socially, economically, politically and industrially.  It has to do with the contracts between employees and employers, how to win for both parties in the outcomes of these contracts.  You might think that this is a small bit of trivia in the history of economic thought, but it is not; it will have a significant influence on the future.
