# Current beliefs (paradigm) about money and finance are a major root cause of global crises. New beliefs and models (paradigm) about money and finance offer a critical opportunity for change. We will apply these new beliefs and models to changing economics at various scales, esp. local neighborhoods.
# We are building on the work of Elinor Ostrom’s work, Stafford Beer’s, and the cooperative movements, especially Mondragon and Northern Italy’s network industrial coops.
FINAL STATEMENT (DRAFT) # 1. The current station. This group intends to work on **clarifying cybernetic views of economics of change** and the **change of economics**. In doing that, we will explore **measures** that we can use Conant-Ashby Theory as a basis for our life.
We recognize that **consultants are very influential**, and they are not talking about systems thinking. We need to have a conversation with them.
Also, there are questions regarding what is the **driving force of the systems** where we are now?.
Currently, there are **wrong or arbitrary signals**: short gains vs sustainability of the planet. There is a societal pressure to start looking for sustainable economics and ethical issues that support all economic activity.
Money is a big concern, and we recognize that economics and governance are two sides of the same coin.
We need **new metrics** to money.
# 2. What to do about the situation.
1. Cybernetic model of economics (finance, banks, currencies). The future will be determined by the conversations that do or don't occur in particular neighborhoods.
2 Begin a prioritized list of types of **critical measures**.
3 Create **education and training of consultants**--in area or sustainability and crisis response.
4 **Graph (simple model) the key drivers** of current dysfunction.
5 Integrate Mick Ashby's thinking of added **integration of ethics into systems**. Create metrics.
6 Map out **practical actions** that local governments and communities can do now to localize money and banking (finance). Then go do it with interested folks in communities.
7 **Neighbors** in their shared neighborhoods each need to determine the **metrics** that they need for their own systems (living together). These are how they stay within limits at all scales as they take care of the things they care about enough to cooperate on.
8 Enhance ability of neighborhoods to address their own critical issues. At **local level**, you can see the power of working together.
We understand that economics systems need to be **recursively coherent** from neighborhoods to global.

# DAY 2: Where are we going? -**Cybernetic model** of economics (finance, banks, currencies).
The future will be determined by the conversations that do or don't occur in particular neighborhoods.
-Begin a prioritized list of types of **critical measures**.
-Create education of **consultants**--in area or sustainability and crisis response.
-Graph (simple model) the **key drivers** of current dysfunction.
-Integrate Nick Ashby's thinking of added integration of **ethics** into systems. Create metrics.
-Map out practical **actions** that **local governments and communities** can do now to localize money and banking (finance). Then **go do it with** interested folks in communities.
**Neighbors** in their shared neighborhoods each need to determine the metrics that they need for their own systems (living together). These are how they stay within limits at all scales as they take care of the things they care about enough to cooperate on.
# DAY 3: How do we get there?

Aggregated Statement of Importance: Looking for a **solidarity and well being economy** that favors **local development**, short circuits and supports the common good, currencies and finances that are coherent.
To save the world and develop eSyn tools we require a big fat **sponsor**!
**Money** is the most destructive technology every developed.
Money is institutionalized **mistrust**.
Looking for a **solidarity economy** that favors local development, short circuits and the **common good**.

-Finance--availability of resources for innovation and development (not growth).
-Debt, enslavement
-Fiat Money (currency) as compounding interest scheme => ponzi scheme, unending grown, cyclic financial disasters, one time ecological disaster.
-**Private banks** that create money and benefit from interest and indebt the nations who allow them to exist. A huge robbery of society creating the .1% vs. every one else.
-**Cybernetics** of finance, banking, fiat currencies, regulation.
-**Design finance** including banking and currencies with all relevant recursions visually available: family/household- -neighborhood- -towns & municipalities- -counties- -states-nations- -continents--world (Keep Ostrom's polycentric governance and Christopher Alexander's semi-lattice vs. strict hierarchies.)
-New **measures** beyond just money are needed. Beyond GDP. Michelle Friend and her dad.
-Sustainable economics
-Ethical economics
-Scientific (cybernetic) economics
-Economics in support of aesthetic.
-Nick Ashby's paper on Ethical Cybernetics.
-Find Jay Foresters talk on Economists.
-Land ownership is a key issue.
-Visualize **supply chain** with several metrics.
-Abundance vs. need or shortage. Money is a constraint not a true asset. Limits of local availability not money.
-Outside funding is a very dangerous threat.
