Self-employment for Self-reliance
WEB Reference, Feb. 2006 (Gaia University) - Gaia University is based on a web of active people working in self-employed mode. Thus people draw income according to their effort and effectiveness, provide their own tools for the job, take care of their own relationships with local government and tax offices, shape their own working patterns to suit their circumstances, develop poly-income portfolios and regard themselves as partners in their own right rather than employees of a corporation. Widescale human learning and unlearning are the keys to making the transition from our current eco-destructive culture to a fresh, designed culture that is eco-constructive and socially just. Those of us who are willing need to choose to make this transition now. Some people (we calculate hundreds of thousands) have already started on this endless journey and this worldwide web of pioneers holds a vast repertoire of useful experiences for future learners.
