So what's your meta-reformist plan to get us beyond M-C-M' Yoshie? How would you
reconfigure the institutions of the technosphere so they're a little more
biosphere friendly while becoming humane work places free of racism, sexism and
all other forms of domination?
"The long term goal should be to reduce the financial and governance role of
the stock market with an eye towards an eventual elimination. Corporations
should be placed increasingly under a combination of worker, community,
customer, supplier, and public control. Of course, it's easy to say that in
a sentence or two, but the actual task, technically and politically, would
be difficult as hell." [DH]
