What To Do? The Great Debate!
The film spelled out the problems, and also pointed to several courses of
action being taken around the world. Now it is up to all of us to work on
the solutions. So let's start with the concept of the corporate institution
and together brainstorm what to do with a psychopath that is running our
world, and ruining our planet… In an initiative that is part "think tank",
part "debate" part "opinion poll" we are setting the groundwork for a global
brainstorm on behalf of corporate harm reduction.
Should we REFORM , REGULATE, or REWRITE the corporation?
The REWRITERS: Overthrow. Change the actual legal constitution of every
corporation. Eradicate corporate "personhood". Change the entire DNA of the
corporate animal. Anarchism & new experiments in democracy.
The REGULATERS: More democratic governmental controls. Hold corporations
accountable. Make corporations really pay for their planetary misdeeds.
Worker control. Bigger bars on the corporate cage.
The REFORMERS: Make corporations run better. Reward good management. Hold
corporate "heroic" leaders up as a testament that better people can run
better companies. Make better business practices "good business."
We invite you now to respond to these ideas. Treating each option as
"Political Party" - what would their campaign promises be? How would each
"party's" approach effect global harm reduction? Where do you stand? Do you
have ideas within each of these areas that could become a good first step
towards catalyzing a change in mere business as usual? As Jeremy Rifkin says
in the film, we have to have a better story to tell.
Enter our contest now by
giving your opinion.
