Yet in each case the choice of terminology is a deliberate one, indicating that the differences are not merely semantic, but reflect deeper political and cultural realities that no advocate should ignore. Some feel the need to qualify our current system as "corporate" capitalism, while others are happy to call it capitalism, plain and simple. Thus, for example, while Gar Alperovitz may write of an America Beyond Capitalism, we see his friend and colleague John Fullerton promoting a Regenerative Capitalism that nonetheless resonates with Alperovitz's vision in its particulars. Yet, as one might expect from a diverse and growing movement, new-economy advocates have widely differing views on the term. Thus, as with all controversial terms, how we use the “c-word” matters. Indeed, as the first Democratic presidential debate of the season highlighted, “capitalism” can be a politically charged and confusing term. This as an important strategic question that new-economy advocates must come to terms with as we attempt to build public understanding of and support for a just and sustainable new system. Keith Harrington (YES! Magazine / Moderator)ĭoes building a truly just, democratic and sustainable economy mean creating an entirely new system beyond capitalism-or can we reform capitalism to operate according to those values?
