Collective Wisdom

A Localism Manifesto

July 10, 2025 Michael Shuman, The Main Street Journal. , , ,
Planet Earth is experiencing a five-alarm emergency, yet our political systems are paralyzed and incapable of responding. Unprecedented hurricanes, floods, droughts, fires, and other climate disasters are overwhelming us. Inequality is at a historic high, with 3,000 billionaires shaping our political systems and civil societies. Our once open and vibrant democracies are mutating into dictatorships. Our economies, which were remarkably stable after World War II, continually careen between uncontrolled inflation and unemployment. The list of seemingly insoluble national and global problems is growing.

Sociocracy: A ‘Light In Our Path Towards A Co-operative Society’

March 23, 2025 Alice Toomer-McAlpine, The News.Coop. , , ,
When it comes to collective leadership, simply having the willingness to work in this way is not always enough, and trying to ensure everyone is heard without systems and structures to support this aim can become messy and unworkable.  A growing number of co-ops are exploring how the governance system of sociocracy can help them to ensure those involved have a say while still getting things done.  Sociocratic organisations are made up of small, semi-autonomous working groups called circles, connected by members who ensure the flow of information between them. Roles within circles are selected via an open, transparent selection process rather than a secret ballot.
