the present economic consensus has reached a height of stupidity

That's it. And that height of stupidity is presented as there-is-no-alternative TINA. Mig's article says there-are-real-alternatives TARA. In present circumstances, that is fairly revolutionary.

Frank Schnittger:

We need a new real world approach to economics - one starting with assumptions about human rights rather than human "rationality" or greed, and one rooted in the ecosystem of the world we actually inhabit.

Certainly we do. I'd have thought these had been preoccupations of most discourse on ET since it began. But communicating through different channels in a way that's appropriate to them isn't a form of denial of that, it's taking an opportunity to challenge conventional wisdom and move ideas forward. Or must we write a Manifesto and only communicate that?
