The New View Discovers Co-Op Lab, Market Space with Peter Forrest

An exploration of the work of Peter Forrest to transition from the failing economic model to a decentralized, bottom-up alternative. We meet with Peter for the first time to begin to learn about who he is, his vision, and his models for building and reclaiming communities at the grassroots level. Although he lives in Liverpool, the UK, he hopes that others will see the potential of his model to create a network of cooperative community hubs worldwide. Peter describes his vision to enable hope-in-action as a driver for a co-operative living infrastructure; where people connect and collaborate as local co-owner-producer-consumers to evolve a unique 'Market-Space'.Show more

As we are in the midst of an enormous economic transition with the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies looming; we are hungry to develop prototypes which can help us survive whatever comes, as well as help us transition to where we hope to go. Alanna's powerful land reform vision and Ellen Brown's insight into creating public banks add to the lively opening discussion with Peter Forrest, which opens up more dimensions to the possibilities of debt-free currencies that promote Life, Learning, and Local Empowerment.
