Shifting to Equity Paybacks

This is

a campaign to agree 
a new vocabulary 
for informing 
a new conversation 
that will give currency to 
a new custom 
for holding institutions 
of agency and authority, 
for making social choices 
for society, 
accountable 
for authenticity 
and integrity 
in their individual exercises 
of their institutional authority/power 
true to their institutional agency/purpose/mission, 
according to our shared, common sense, 
as prudent people 
who care enough 
to take the time 
to make the effort 
to make ourselves 
familiar with such matters, 
of institutional authenticity, 
integrity, 
power, and 
purpose,
through Festivals of Citizens Deliberation, 
in three movements
  • The Run-Up: text for context, and art as social objects for igniting a desire to inquire: framing the tensions between and among competing choices, and their consequences
  • The Main Event: participation through sortition in citizens trials and mini-publics
  • The Aftermath: popularizing through the Politics of Bargaining, Legislating and Litigating

Before we begin: The Beat Sheet

           “
 what kind of world 
             do we want 
      and how 
               can we make it happen?

Simon Mair, MEND Network

THIS is the world we want

THIS is how we can make it happen

allocating Fiduciary Money through Equity Paybacks from current cash flows through Enterprise, prioritized by contract for:

  • Suitability of the Technology to the circumstances prevailing at the time;
  • Duration of the social contract between Enterprise and popular choice over time; and
  • Dignity in how the business does business all the time, across all six vectors of cash flow through Enterprise, including:
    • Fair Trade, with suppliers;
    • Fair Engagement with communities, of place and of interest;
    • Fair Reckoning with the consequences, on Nature, Society and the Future;
    • Fair Working, in the workplace;
    • Fair Dealing, in the marketplace;
    • Fair Sharing, with savers whose savings are the “raw material” form which financiers fashion capital for business.
