I am a retired IT/Business Consultant (BA, MBA, MIMC, CMC). I studied History & Politics at Lancaster and Business at Leeds. I started in engineering, moved to retail and then consulting. I have worked for large and small companies. I have lived in Leeds since 1984.
I would like to link up with people in leeds for ideas sharing, discussions and support.
I am interested the paradigm shift that is needed to transform society. In my writing I describe this change to political economy as follows; politics from winner take all to a collective quest for good governance, and economically from profit maximisation the creation of the common wealth.
In ecological terms that would equate to a move from parasitism to something more sustainable (so at least comensual/communal). The idea of personal sufficiency and collective wealth appeals. The question is twofold (1) how to bring about the paradigm shift (or add weight to it as its starting spontaneously) and (2) then what happens - this is likely to be difficult, contested and critical because history especially with regard to revolutions is far from encouraging.
PS. I appear as an artist on linked in because I paint as a hobby since my retirement
