<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>This conference highlights problems caused by
increasing concentration of capital and decision-making and poses solutions.
While we appreciate the production efficiencies of global trade, we question
conventional assumptions about the balance between civil and property rights,
and about how wealth, money and capital are created. We demonstrate how rules
and institutions can be transformed to benefit democracy and strengthen
communities. We explore successful examples and present new policy proposals
that promote social stability, decrease poverty and increase democracy by
enabling increased broad local ownership and control of productive assets. The
methods and proposals presented are politically feasible because they provide
broad access to creation of new wealth without resorting to redistribution of
current wealth.</FONT></P>
