The pattern language has a severe practical rationale: making a living economy, through capable activist formations, moving beyond the fragments.
THE RATIONALE
We are engaged in the making of a living economy. This is no small concern. The hegemonic economy - globalised, capitalist, extractive, enclosed, supremacist and absurdly powerful - is appallingly and recklessly harmful. Here we begin to frame that engagement in a pattern language of activist life and work: a politics of regenerative production.
The practice of making a living economy rests in the foundational commitment of 'blessed unrest' in the mutual sector - global civil society, in its economic aspect - in the face of clear and present danger.
