The New American Dream

Richard Hobbs

March 13, 2016

The new American dream will be all about caring, productive, educational, participatory, and enjoyable activities, not about individual net worth. U.S. economic, political, and social institutions need to be re-structured to allow universal access to these humane activities. Our individual and institutional values should incorporate democracy, equality, cooperation, kindness, and sustainability. Unlike corporate structures, these values allow personal and social realization. Richard Hobbs is the Executive Director of the local human rights non-profit Human Agenda (www.humanagenda.net), the moderator of Move To Amend and the Santa Clara County Cooperative Collaborative, and a member of two local cooperatives in formation.
