Thanks for this Ramana. The points in the article are very true.
The overall message I receive is "quality is maximized when artisans play for community benefit". We can create a setting where artisans can play all day long without worring about food, shelter and basic health-care. This "Basic Outcome" is insured by the land and water-rights and plants and animals and tools needed to create a permaculture-based "Vertically Integrated Production Arena". Discussion of the VIPA is outside the scope of this mailing list. Where should we work on this?
