New Economy Roundup: Internet for All, Decolonize Your Mind, the Power of Small Media
The news has been dominated in the last two weeks with talk about the G.O.P. tax bill, COP23, and of course Thanksgiving and Native History Month (check out the piece on decolonizing your mind in Movement News). Going into the holiday season, we hope these roundups serve as a reminder that incredible people building democratic alternative to our current system are out there.

As Boomers Retire, Millions of Small Businesses Will Change Hands. Can We Keep Them Local?
A “silver tsunami” of retiring business owners is coming, and with it, one of the biggest changeovers of privately held companies in U.S. history. Here’s how we can help owners pass on their legacies—to their workers. This originally appeared as part of New Economy Week 2015.
Income For All! Two Visions of a New Economy
The United States’ partial and uneven recovery from the 2008 financial crisis calls for a new economic platform that would unite the employed and the unemployed, strengthen worker power, and point the way to a more democratic economy for the country as a whole. Two such policy proposals have recently been gaining traction on the left: a universal basic income, on the one hand, and a job guarantee on the other. As part of New Economy Week 2015, Dissent, Jacobin Magazine, and the New Economy Coalition brought together activists, journalists, and scholars to discuss these two proposals.

Democratic Banking For The 99%: Public Banks Stop Wall Street From Gambling With Our Money
Would you gamble away your rent money? How about your kids’ college fund, or the money you put aside for food and clothing? If that seems like a terrible idea, then why do cities, counties, and states gamble away our money by giving it to big Wall Street bankers, who throw it into risky derivatives and interest rate swaps? There’s a better way–and it’s one of our nation’s best-kept secrets. (This article originally appeared as part of New Economy Week 2015)
Acts of Collective Imagination: Notes From the Chief Policy Wonk at America’s Department of Arts and Culture
What if we gave everyone a universal basic income, and studied the adverse impacts of development before razing neighborhoods? The policy agenda of a national network you didn’t know existed. (From New Economy Week 2015)
