Julian Darley speaks on Economics, the Money System and Capitalism (transcript and audio)Julian Darley, Global Public Media
In these two interviews with Els Cooperrider of The Party's Over on KZYX, Julian Darley deals head on with two aspects of economics - the money system and capitalism - which is the real driver of our unfortunate siuation. This is part of the need to question what most people call "normal life", which is clearly increasingly pathological and nearing exhaustion, even as it climaxes. The second half of the second program deals with a range of listeners' calls, including the need to start making things locally again as well as Post Carbon Institute's Outposts program and and the Relocalization network that is convening.

Part Two

HopeDance special on "LOCAL"
HopeDance Magazine
Relocalization, which is basically a return to the LOCAL, is a huge topic right now. With peak oil, climate change and the trembling cry of globalization, we see the rise and the importance of Going Local, Buying Local, Supporting Local. We have published numerous articles that will explain this movement. We have two speeches by Michael Brownlee and Pat Veesart that set the tone of what is coming and what we need to do. Judy Wicks is awesome. I call her the national hero for the local, since she has done so many cool things that we cannot enter into this movement without acknowledging such a wise elder, especially since she is the co-founder of BALLE (Business Alliance For Local Living Economies). In this issue there are a number of main leaders within BALLE that will give you a more clear idea of what it all represents, i.e., Michelle Long’s interview and the interview with Bill McKibben and the review of his latest book, Deep Economy, and Eric Rumble’s brief synopsis of the burgeoning movement.

We have Barbara Wishingrad reflect on a time past in Mexico where shopping and being Local was not necessarily an option. It simply existed as most cultures have existed: local. Local contributor Anne R. Allen reports on a business in town that did not leave to the opposite side of the world or get gobbled up by a transnational. Employees gathered and bought the business. Bob Banner asks the national and international press to begin to discuss the fossil fuel usage of transporting magazines all over the country and the world while talking the talk of Being Local. Adonijah is a remarkable model of a citizen and a teacher who empowers hope and inspired activity among those who meet him, transforming minds as well as empty lots into luscious food forests.
