Within any given area or locality all of the residents share an interest in a healthy local economy and a healthy local ecosystem.
- Those who are poor, are not affiliated with a group that successfully participates in the energy flow. From an individual point of view, the solution is to gain skills that would allow you to join such a group (get a job). From a system point of view, there is another option. That option is to create new groups that bring new energy into the system.
- It occurs to me these proposed groups could best operate on a community basis with an internal medium of exchange, employing economies of integration (see also: Economics of Integrated Production) and converting financial resources into living resources. Such an organization would benefit all members of the community by employing unused and underused assets of the community and facilitating local production of goods and services. In addition to basic goods and services, such an organization would facilitate implementation of environmental enhancement projects on behalf of the community.
- Some of you have seen the materials on the Selfh-help Corporation and have liked the idea. That is a plan for poor people to help themselves. This is an idea to incorporate the concept of the Self-help Corporation into what I am calling a Community Investment Enterprise through which each of us can help ourselves, our communities and the poor in our communities. I also want to explore how that could be expanded to help the poor in developing countries. I will post that in the Poverty group.
- I would be pleased to answer any questions this proposal might raise and would welcome your help in exploring the details of how such an organization would work.
- I am working on a plan specific to Denver, Colorado.
