“Like the biosphere, the
living economies we seek will self-organize within a framework of market rules.
Rooted locally everywhere and dependent primarily on their own resource base,
they will have built in incentives to optimize creative adaptation to local
microenvironments. With the decision-making powers of ownership distributed
among the community’s members in their multiple roles as producers, consumers,
and citizens there will be a natural incentive to internalize costs and manage
resources responsibly.” Korten D., The New Economy

Refer the analysis made in part 1. The basic concepts - introduction in section 3 the financial structures of the fourth block the structures to be created of the course.
Read the “Declaration of the Occupation of New York City”,
dated 19th October, 2011.
Carefully read the article by Fritjof
Capra, Development and sustainability, Center for Ecoliteracy,
Capra ends his article this way:
“The alternative view of development proposed by the global civil
society sees development as a creative process, characteristic of all life, a
process of increasing capability, in which the most important thing one needs
is control over local resources. In this view, the development process is not
purely an economic process. It is also a social, ecological, and ethical
process—a multidimensional and systemic process. The primary actors in
development are the institutions of civil society—NGOs and other associations
based on kin, on neighborhood, or on common
interests.
Because people are different and the places in which they live are
different, we can expect development to produce cultural diversity of all
kinds. The process whereby it will happen will be very different from the
current global trading system. It will be based on the mobilization of local
resources to satisfy local needs, and it will be informed by the values of
human dignity and ecological sustainability. Living sustainably means
recognizing that we are an inseparable part of the web of life, of human and
nonhuman communities, and that enhancing the dignity and sustainability of any
one of them will enhance all the others.”
2. Opinion.
On two pages
explain how the integrated development concepts presented in the course enable
the local populations in each project area to obtain control of local resources
and mobilise them to achieve local development as intended by Fritjof Capra.

: Ancient Oceans : The Planet’s
Plunder Will Continue in the Name of Progress published at the
website of www.CommonDreams.org,
“Help me return to deep community. Help me to
commune with Nature, not as a tourist but as a co-inhabitant…”
3. Opinion.
On one page,
describe how integrated development can contribute to meeting these wishes.
Commons trusteeship.
“Figure 3
Cap and Rent
Adjusting to a Commons-based economy
· Common goods are protected to
the extent possible for future generations through a cap on the sustainable
limits of their use
· Some portion of these
resources are rented to private enterprise for the production and consumption
of private goods by the present generation
· The rents are distributed by
the state as public goods, to repair and restore depleted commons, provide a
universal income, and benefit people who have been negatively affected by the
extraction and production of their common resources.”
