When you buy products in the usual retail store, who benefits? Well you do, if you buy a product that serves your needs but that's where the benefit ends in a single conclusion. The store owner and the manufacturer of the product benefits through profit. What if you could buy this same product or perhaps an even better product through your own business and have both the product and a share of the profits as well. You would clearly benefit in two ways. This what I mean by "buying in your own self interest". Who could benefit? All consumers if they took this "professional " approach to buying.
What if you could set up a "network of pro consumers" all acting in their own interest and who use their purchasing power (already existing) to fuel a business? A business where all participants could benefit in an equal way with equal chance of success given equal work. Pictorially, it would look like a geodesic dome which could span the globe because their are no geographic limits ---like multi national corporations, except this model could be termed a "global home business network". This essentially would be a massive collection of families and individuals all over the world united simply by buying goods in their own interest. What if there were hundreds or thousands of such loosely knit organizations spanning the globe. Would that foster understanding between countries and races? Could it lead to a more global government who could deal with the multi nationals on a global level. Could it lead to world peace? Could it actually really foster an environment where we could deal with global warming effectively instead of talking about it.
The present economic order created this mess we are all in right now. It also doesn't look like it's got the guts or even the intelligence to do something about it. Isn't it time for real change? As usual, it starts with the almightly dollar. How do you spend it? At Walmart or at your own store. You decide. Do you want to use your own purchasing dollars to empower you or some stock holder?
