Thank you so much for this, Chris.
No problem!
I just began to gather all the recordings. I'll put them to the
conference site in raw form first so they are available as soon as
possible in a single place... it would be good if we would have one
audio for each presentation. For this they need to be cut, also.
One of the people who helped with the Indymedia recording might be able
to help chop the raw audio up -- let me know when it's up and I'll have
a word with him.
The last Unwelcome Guests show ran the talk by Raoul Victor:
- Unwelcome Guests #460 - The Age of Reunion
Beyond Exploitation to an Economy of Solidarity
Charles Eisenstein (reading) , Raoul Victor
Last week on the program we heard a documentary that covered a twenty
year period during which the remote Himalayan region of Ladakh was
subjected to capitalist development in the name of progress that
destroyed an ancient culture based on solidarity, and the fragile
ecosystem which had previously met the needs of the people. Where
there had been a sense of abundance and happiness, there was now
typical third world squalor and dispair. On the program this week, we
cover the global economic crises as the death throes of the
unsustainable rule of money, and how to re build a culture in itsd
ashes, based in mutual aid and respect for each other and the land.
You can have TARP, or BARF or FART, but business as usual is so, so
over,
I'll begin by reading you an article by Charles Eisenstein, author of
the Ascent of Humanity. He puts the current economic crises at the
cusp of a needed and longed for change in the basis of human society,
what he calls the age of reunion, the return of the gift economy.
We'll conclude the program with another presentation from the 4 annual
oekonux conference, Free Software and Beyond The World of Peer
Production held in Manchester, England last month that brought
together an international group of people from the free software
movement that are exploring the application of peer to peer networks
and free collaboration beyond software to society as a whole.

What is very cool about this is that the show goes out to about 20
community radio stations and it's downloaded by around 500 people each
week, so I don't feel as bad as I did on the day that there were not so
many people at the live talk :-)

Several thousand people might now have heard the talk!
