Who do you know? Your connections form part of your social capital; the network, shared values, and mutual understandings that encourage trust, facilitate trade, and make cooperation easier. Henry George noted that trust was a pre-condition to trade. Nobel Prize winning economist Elinor Ostrom regarded social capital, along with physical, human, and natural capital, as essential for growth and development.

In this seminar we review the concept of social capital, study its operation in our world, and consider its expression in various forms of social media.

    Economy 2.0 - A Conversation with Clive Menzies

    Josh Sidman sits down for a conversation with Clive Menzies. Join them live via Zoom and be part of the discussion!

    Clive Menzies explores the human condition at www.outersite.org, sharing insights from years of engagement with distributed, autonomous, codependent self-organisation (DACSO). This journey took coherent shape with the Critical Thinking project (2012–2019) and continues through collaborations with diverse groups and individuals. Clive’s current focus is on rethinking value as the foundation of organisation and aligning life with the universe’s fundamental principle: love. Living and working alongside like-minded individuals who share a deep spiritual connection to conscious energy makes this way of life not just effortless, but profoundly fulfilling.
