Very Exciting News

January 27, 2007 by jdaviescoates 1 Comment

Yesterday I had the most amazing and inspiring phone call ever. A man called Ray called me from Cornwall, 2km from where Oli was already but totally randomly literally on his way to (thanks to Katharine), and basically said that he wants to entrust his land to a community very much like the commons creation collective - i.e. one with shared values (create a whole new economic system based on new land ownership and monetary systems etc.) he can grow to trust and love. He's got an 1.5 acre and … [Read more...]

July 17, 2006 by jdaviescoates 1 Comment

Whilst up in Bedford visiting the farm, I discussed plans for my book with Shane. He thought that Recipes for a New World Order would be a good title; we could reclaim the phrase New World Order (like how I tried to claim Bush's so-called Global Democratic Revolution). I chatted to Saul Albert about it, but he didn't like it, saying that he wouldn't even pick up a book with such a title. Maybe I should just write a load of stuff and self-publish it under a load of different titles to reach … [Read more...]
