Challenges to Plan for

While solutions-oriented, appreciative thinking plays the critical lead in successful action, the more critical, skeptical demand for rigor and caution is as essential to success. Risks to be anticipated come in several forms:

1. Unacknowledged conflicting needs and interests, misunderstandings, and interpersonal concerns, "feelings" and "histories" can impede essential collaboration. Creating space to work through and "harvest" substantive differences advances the planning. Time, safety and skill in exploring and where possible healing or at least accepting interpersonal differences grows the community that is itself among the critical goals of the work itself as well as allowing collaboration to continue.
2. Things may not work as planned--in fact they usually don't. Backup plans may help. Readiness to learn and to adapt makes the unexpected often the very source of new breakthroughs. Such readiness is a matter both of ongoing efforts to stay centered, connected and open.
3. "Due deliberation" or "doing the homework" is our best effort, within the time and accessibility to information available, to at least minimize forseeable error.
4. The powers aligned against deep systems change are vast and multi-faceted, usually subtle, and sometimes lethal in how they work. We can only study them, try to outguess them in our planning, and strengthen ourselves through centering, mutual support, and practice. Hence the often critical importance of on-going personal growth and training in communication, organizing, non-violence, and strategic action.

Actions To Take

As Lakey explains in Viking Economics, moving the money away from the oligarchy, in the early 20th century, is what returned control of their countries back to the people in Scandinavia. That is why (or one of the main reasons why) today they are still at the top of all measures of social well-being, prosperity and democratic effectiveness. It is our hope then that the potential realignments of economic power discussed here will allow our nation and indeed the global economy and society to in time achieve a similar shift.

That very hope however means that those whose monied interests and power will be affected by these revolutionary changes as they come about are going to use every weapon in their considerable arsenal to defeat these developments. For example, public banks are not illegal at the federal level but should they start up in various states the banking and finance lobbies are certain to push for rapid passage of statutes that do directly or indirectly render them illegal or so attentuated as to lose most of the benefits.

Coupling efforts to create public banks in California and elsewhere with the election to federal offices of those committed to fostering and protecting the concept must be made a critical component in the overall campaign to "move our money".

What to change

Response5 Empowering Truths

1.We can restore the earth, at least enough to still save the planet. And we can meet human needs not just along with this effort, but as a core part of it.

2.Many of our problems already have proven solutions and most others promising innovations. The challenge is what it can take to bring these solutions to scale—available to all who need them—and how we can bring that about, using our organized power as citizens.

3.There is enough money to do that job. What has to happen is to move that money where it’s needed. Divestment, public banking, socially responsible investment, B-Corporations, and many others now emerging are potent ways citizen action can make that happen.

4. We do have the power we need, when we come to solidarity--across divisions and disciplines, issues and sectors, regions and class--and then focus on the right targets using the right strategies for the rules and the systems we must change.

5. We’re actually the answer. Yes—all part of the problem, but thus also all part of the solution. The emerging powers of citizens explored in this series are arriving just at this time of massive breakdowns. What we have to do is far from easy. But it is also far from proven impossible. 

Divided No More

5. We’re actually the answer. Yes—all part of the problem, but thus also all part of the solution. The emerging powers of citizens explored in this series are arriving just at this time of massive breakdowns. What we have to do is far from easy. But it is not yet proven impossible.  We are thus obligated to do all in our power to yet achieve a livable future.

You Have More Power than You Think by Eric Liu

Drawdown by Paul Hawken

1.We can restore the earth, at least enough to still save the planet. And we can meet the core human needs of all humans, not just along with this effort, but as an inherent part of it

Challenge 5 Disabling Beliefs

1. Meeting human needs destroys the Earth. The planet's better off without us.
2. Our problems are overwhelming in their complexity--inherently insoluble.
3. Even where there are solutions we don't have the money to bring them to scale.
4. Even if we find the money, we don't have the power to spend it where it's needed.
5. We’re the problem. We are hopelessly divided, and our very nature is just too violent, greedy, indifferent, or foolish to do what’s needed.

5. We’re the problem. We're hopelessly divided and our very nature is just too violent, greedy, indifferent, or foolish to do what’s needed.

4. Even if we find the money, we don’t have the power to put that money where it’s needed.

3. Even where there are promising solutions, we don’t have the money it would take to bring them to scale.
