Hi Gar, I really loved your bookWhat Then Must We Do?, and it helped inspire me to get involved in the New Economy movement. Thank you! Here's a couple of questions for you:
1) A lot of young people are interested in getting involved in "social entrepreneurship", but their business tend to be structured like traditional capitalist enterprises or non-profits, and cooperatives are not on their radar. Why should an aspiring social entrepreneur be interested in cooperatives?
2) You say in your book that retiring Baby-Boomer business-owners are in an ideal position to transfer ownership to their employees. Is anyone explicitly reaching out to this demographic?
3) Just a small point, who coined the term "New Economy" (in this context)?
P.S. Shameless plug for the fledgling /r/neweconomy!
