The Story
What was the defining moment that led you to this innovation?
Talking to people who had no idea that things were more personal in the past and that we as people had much more control over our lives. We were not relying on companies and faceless entities to tell us how to live. We can be self-reliant and seeking money and livlihood is not hopeless.
Tell us about the social innovator behind this idea.
Loving the idea of respect for talent, I found myself uncovering the seeds of the past movement of the Arts and Crafts Movement dating from the late 19th Century. Many phases and faces later, it still exists in its' core as the Green Movement, the Organic Movement, The Locality Movement, the Community Dollar Movement, and many many more. It needs to be united and strengthened.
