6. Community-Based Economics
We support redesigning our work structures to encourage employee ownership and workplace democracy.
We support developing new economic activities and institutions that allow us to use technology in ways that are humane, freeing, ecological, and responsive and accountable to communities.
We support establishing a form of basic economic security open to all.
We call for moving beyond the narrow 'job ethic' to new definitions of 'work,' 'jobs' and 'income' in a cooperative and democratic economy.
We support restructuring our patterns of income distribution to reflect the wealth created by those outside the formal monetary economy – those who take responsibility for parenting, housekeeping, home gardens, community volunteer work, and the like.
We support restricting the size and concentrated power of corporations without discouraging superior efficiency or technological innovation.
