Community Capitalism

Community Capitalism is a Big Idea. Please help make it a reality.

Community Capitalism harnesses market forces to create public works instead of private property. It is a new and often better way of getting projects specified, sold, built, delivered, and paid for without using either corporate capitalist ownership or pure philanthropic volunteerism as the organizing principle. Community Capitalism meets customer needs, harnessing market forces to drive and pay for good works from software to roadways to cures for diseases. It provides an organizational, financial, and technical structure for the participants (customers, inventors, developers, and managers) to cooperate, playing their respective roles, and receiving their respective benefits, while jointly getting good things done. Everybody cooperates, everybody wins, the work is paid for, and the results are perpetual public property.
