The truth at any cost lowers all other costs — curated by former US spy Robert David Steele.
In his book Economics After Capitalism: A Guide to the Ruins and a Road to the Future (Pluto Press, 2015), Derek Wall (International Coordinator of the Green Party of England and Wales) discusses various critiques of capitalism, and examines how we can create practical alternatives to capitalism and build a ‘democratic economy and a future free of rampant climate change, financial chaos, and the ravages of elite rule’. Here, we outline the main arguments of his book:

Uber-corruption? New taxi service threatens good-paying US jobs while enriching a few insiders
Uber, with Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street insiders as investors, including the Chicago Mayor’s brother, Ari Emanuel, is putting at risk thousands of jobs nationwide while the taxi industry undergoes a game-changing transformation.
Phi Beta Iota: The article contains some deep insights into New York City corruption as well, and concludes that both Chicago and New York have been unwise in failing to provide for both proper licensing of uber drivers, and alternative employment/re-training of taxi drivers being made destitue by uber.
There is a Trillion dollar wealth transfer hiding in plain sight. It has to do with with the organic nature of the economy of production and what can be produced with available resources. The resource for this new trillion dollar market is a simple plant. The Cannabis/Hemp plant was known for 5000 years prior to Prohibition. Now that Prohibition is eroding around the world, the latest volleys of hesitation and argument for the plant's use, comes from the notion that more research needs to be done. But while more research is being conducted, internet stories and anecdotes are accelerating the truth that the original 5000 year history of FACTS surrounding the Cannabis/Hemp plant never went away in the first place. You don't have to agree, just don't get in the way. A natural consequence of rapid investment in cannabis (and hemp), will be a massive reorganization of food cultivation, energy production and, financial value.

This article's author, Mike Adams, admits to speculating, as he has no proof the GMO industry is sabotaging Chipotle, but I think it is very plausible speculation.

Another example: listeners of Gary Null's daily noon Internet show have had to suffer days of show blackouts for the last month. The blackout of the show usually ends as soon his hour is over. Very odd. Null is a nutritionist/activist who releases a large amounts of excellent information and analysis highly critical of the medical, pharmaceutical, food and other industries, plus the government.
The tide is turning. True cost economics is going to come into full force in the next decade.

Citizens' initiative in Switzerland to take money creation away from commercial banks. Next step is debate and then a referendum of all Swiss citizens.
Swiss citizens’ initiative collects 105,000 signatures, triggers referendum on Money Creation
With the full power of new money creation exclusively in the hands of the Swiss National Bank, the commercial banks would no longer have the power to create money through lending. The Swiss National Bank’s primary role becomes the management of the money supply relative to the productive economy, while the decision concerning how new money is introduced debt free into the economy would reside with the government”, reads the official website of the initiative.
