This is a continuation of a discussion between Dave Darby of Lowimpact.org and the Open Credit Network and Lynn Foster of Mikorizal and Value Flows. She’s based in Wisconsin, in the States. Here she talks about the world-changing potential of her work, and how people can get involved.
Here's part 1 - youtube.com/watch?v=FU9mf3q8SL4
We’re interviewing key players in the new economy, to:
a) bring their work to a wider audience
b) try to find ways to co-ordinate their efforts
c) stimulate debate
d) help to grow the new economy.
By new economy, we mean an economy whose component parts are democratic and non-extractive, rather than undemocratic and extractive.

Highlights:
1. I hesitate to use any words that will freak anyone out, or could be defined in 20 different ways, but it’s definitely not capitalism. All that drive towards expansion and silly speculation. We can’t afford all that.
2. We love to work with people building things on the ground. I’d love to get together with people building the new economy to hash out some details, to see if we can pull in the same direction; and anyone who wants to build something practical on the ground, let us know.
3. It would be great if we could talk sometime about how to integrate mutual credit and production in the economy. Wouldn’t it be great to use mutual credit to allow people to start things, that usually takes a bit of up-front investment and resources?
4. I guess we need to start with people who really get it and want to do something useful before we kill ourselves.
