Thank you. This is on my reading list. I remember when I first discovered sociocracy being surprised that Gerard had based it on a market economy. But he couples it with transparency -- which we don't have. That makes our "capitalism" pretty much a controlled, not free market.

I'm sending this to you privately, since I'm not sure that it's of
general interest to the list, but I hope you will find it useful: I
would recommend you read The Soul of Capitalism, by William Greider, for
ways in which capitalism can be reframed as a positive force.
Capitalism can in fact be responsible for the good of people
everywhere--it's just not aligned well with those goals at the moment.
