The narrative commences with 'We are engaged', 'Blessed unrest in the face of clear and present danger' and 'A fourfold dance - Beyond fragments'.
We are engaged in the making of a living economy. This is no small concern. The hegemonic economy - globalised, capitalist, extractive, enclosed, supremacist and absurdly powerful - is appallingly and recklessly harmful. Here we begin to frame that engagement in a pattern language of activist life and work: a politics of regenerative production.
The practice of making a living economy rests in the foundational commitment of 'blessed unrest' in the mutual sector - global civil society, in its economic aspect - in the face of clear and present danger. We recognise the scope of the challenge in terms of four 'zones of reach' for activist practice: care work, subsistence work, formación work, stewarding work.
Enormous scope and capability is called for in making a living economy. It can be organised better if we see it as a dance of capability across four zones of reach.
