  1. We often ignore the 'Group Economy' documented by W.E.B. Du Bois in 1907.

    He audited how African Americans, locked out of white banks, built their own insurance and banking networks. This wasn't ideological 'socialism'; it was a data-driven survival strategy against systemic exclusion.

    It is the ancestor of modern Community Wealth Building. Read the review:

  2. Global supply chains are fracturing.

    My Resilience Stack connects 2026 geopolitics with B2B Mutual Credit. If we don't build interoperable liquidity rails now, our local economies won't survive the next credit crunch.

    By netting out debts across networks, systems like the Sardex create liquidity without extraction.

  3. Standard finance treats cooperative returns as 'costs.' It’s a data error.

    My consolidated Sovereignty Audit reclassifies 'Mutual Surplus' as Tier 1 Capital for Solvency II and identifies 'Trojan Horse' clauses in Private Equity deals. Words – and definitions – are the only thing standing between your mission and demutualisation.

  8. The Root & Branch Library has been updated with 4 new structural audits. 🏛️

    We are moving beyond translation into forensic analysis:

    - Why 'Retained Surplus' is not 'Profit.'
    - The 1844 Rochdale Rules as a solvency algorithm.
    - W.E.B. Du Bois on the 'Group Economy.'

    We need to stop treating the social economy as charity and start treating it as superior engineering.

  9. 'The accumulation of capital required the devaluation of care.'

    I've reviewed Silvia Federici's Caliban and the Witch for the Library. It's a brutal, necessary audit of how the transition to capitalism required a war on women. If we want a new economy, we can't just seize the factories. We have to liberate the home.

  10. Language warning: 'Non-Profit' vs 'Indivisible Reserves.'

    One says you can't make money. The other says the money you make belongs to the mission, not the shareholders.

    My Glossary maps these critical legal distinctions between the Anglosphere and the Continental Social Economy. Words are infrastructure.

  11. We need to talk about Elinor Ostrom. 🗳️

    She won a Nobel Prize for debunking the idea that common property always leads to ruin. Her work provides the empirical data for Autogestion.

    If you are building a cooperative, her design principles are non-negotiable. They are the difference between a robust commons and a failed experiment.

  16. Ecology is a governance issue. 🌱

    When I translate territorial disputes for Mongabay, I don't just translate the 'nature' words. I translate the legal mechanisms of enclosure.

    From Rapa Nui to Peru, the fight for the land is a fight for legal definition. We need to audit the laws of conservation as strictly as the laws of finance.

  21. We are not the 'Third Sector'. We are the alternative. 🌍

    My translation of the Brazilian FBES Charter rejects the idea that we are just here to fix capitalism's mistakes or fill the gaps left by the State.

    The Solidarity Economy is a political project: building the Economy of Work over the Economy of Capital.

  22. Don't let them 'domesticate' your text. 🦁

    In a time of erasure, maintaining the specific friction of our language is an act of preservation. When we translate radical concepts into 'smooth' corporate English, we strip them of their political teeth.

    Precision is resistance. Flow is surrender.
