The Coffee Party had a Facebook link to "The New-Economy Movement", Gar Alperovitz. It was originally published in "The Nation", 2011-05-27
Alperovitz writes that there are many alternatives to the large corporations doing business successfully. There include co-operatives and employee-owned companies. Many companies have become "triple bottom line"; the environment and social outcomes are considered as well as profits.
The American Sustainable Business Council recently told the Labor Secretary Hilda Solis "that the US Chamber of Commerce does not speak for all American business".
Alperovitz thinks that many of these efforts will bring about systemic change. I wonder if this might also mean a couple of new parties to replace the two corporate parties.
