However calls for “more” subsidy just make us more dependent on that competitive economic model that creates winners and losers. The same is true of calls for more employment opportunities. While both these calls are designed to improve access to wealth, they also create poverty and dependence.
Also unsurprisingly, the processes for upholding this economic system train people to take their place in it, and so to become more competitive commodities.
Meetings for example, have processes which purposely elevate the competitive and silence the uncompetitive individual and the minority. The meeting process alienates the uncompetitive and keeps them silent. This is especially easy when the uncompetitive have learned that their survival depends on being seen as “genuinely” dependent.
“Create Village” is a different process designed to give people a voice, to share knowledge and power, and to support different outcomes, including especially that public housing should become an asset in any neighbourhood. see http://ntw.net46.net/NTWmodel/NTWModeloverview.htm
