In Development

I’m beginning to write the Treatise, starting with Part I, Chapter I, which will discuss “Why Commons Capitalism?” because readers need to know why it is important to the United States economy.

The contents of Part I — The Foundations of Commons Capitalism, Chapter 1 — Why Commons Capitalism? are, tentatively:

  1. 1.1. The Problem of Productivity, Pay, and Surplus
    1.2. The Missing Worker-Benefiting Enterprise Form
    1.3. .  .  . 1.10. Why Intergenerational Development Must Begin Now

Right now, I’m in the process of revising and Shepardizing Section 1.1.1. I will work on Section 1.1.2 thereafter. I have Section 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 as place holders on the website so that I can work on the backend part of the website.

After a few Sections are prepared for Chapter 1, I want to start providing the Treatise as a PDF through a download link to give readers the unified work with:

  • The original section-numbering convention;
  • Continuous footnote numbering;
  • A clickable table of contents;
  • Internal links and bookmarks;
  • A running bibliography and appendices;
  • Consistent page numbers, headings, and formatting.

Forms: Articles of Incorporation for a Foundational CCE and Constitutional Documents for intergenerational stewardship of Surplus
