CNT has excerpted Appendix V of the book which gives (for me anyway) an easily readable account of MAI. On Nov 7-9 of this year the Polaris Insititue is planning a "Public Teach-In on Corporate Rule" to be held at UofT. There will be international delegates. (I have no further info on this). Clark says in the article "What matters most is that people who opt for the local economy, for example, stay in creative interaction with people who are trying to get a new way to grip some of the levers of global power. We'll need each others' insights, and we'll need to have some shared strategy. There's lots of room for different approaches. Finding new ways to restore citizen-led democracy will take all of us."
