"From Ownership into Stewardship"

- but it has some pretty nasty habits!"
How our ideas about ownership need to change -
And what we are going to do about it.

London School of Economics
Saturday 19th November 2005
10.30am Coffee & Registration 5pm finish: £15/£5 incl lunch
Just another conference? Another talking shop?
The conference aims to have some concrete results.  We have to address
the problems at several different points.  Firstly we have to stand up and say
"there is an alternative"  Secondly, we need to give people a language
in which to voice their concerns.  Thirdly, we need ideas that are well founded
enough so that we can get them into the debate . . . . and much more  . . .

The contributions will include:
Rosamund Stock: The ownership tool
Prem Sikka: Taming the Corporations
John Christensen: Tax Justice network
Dan Plesch: Corporate Social (Ir)Responsibility
Ian Brown: We need to learn from the neo-liberals
James Page, Green Economics
Mark Hayes,: Shared Interest
Nicky Stevenson: Social Enterprise
Chris Cook: Partnerships and The Creative Commons
Jock Coates: Community Land Trusts
Albert Rowland: Economic democracy and participation
Brian Ragbourne & Fred Day: Challenging the status quo
