London Calling: COMMON HOME 2025

The theme of our COMMON HOME conference is “Regenerating the Common Good” and our goal is to help advance a sense of urgency – the door to survival is shutting and we’re trying to stick a foot in – to slow things down.

Accelerating extinction isn’t a good business plan for anyone.

Very thankful to UCL’s Paolo Taticchi for helping us put the conference together in London. Thanks to Enrico Foglia and Philip Kotler – nothing would be happening without them. Thanks also to Assoholding – a steady partner in turbulent times.

And special thanks to all the incredible speakers – grazie mille!

The Billionaire’s Myopia

Philip Kotler and I just wrote an article on how the shortsighted, ego-driven billionaire destroys Democracy – which in turn damages their own well being.

The billionaire’s myopia is especially tragic because democracy is their best long-term investment. While democratic systems impose regulations and taxes, they also ensure legal stability, protect property rights, and create broad-based prosperity that fuels consumer spending. Without a thriving middle class, there are no customers. Without the rule of law, wealth is never secure. Without environmental sustainability, there is no future to profit from.

Wicked Problems: What can we do in a Time of Collapse?

There are enough wicked problems the planet has to deal with already, without adding or exacerbating the one we already have. Yet Comrade Trump and his fearless DOGE monkeys insist on breaking everything we hold dear as Americans.

What can be done?

Read our book. It’s timely and may spark a few ideas. There’s a reason the Republicans are banning books – they don’t want us to know that another world is possible.

Read as if our lives depend on it.

Read, and act.
