Every Citizen an Owner: Capital Homesteading for Cohousing

---

Capital Homesteading is a proposal for getting ownership, income, and power to every citizen. It would utilize the Citizens Land Cooperative (CLC) as one of several innovative credit-financing vehicles, practical components of a free-enterprise vision for humanizing the future of the American economy. The CLC is a keystone of a new private sector strategy for building livable and inspiring “new communities” in which every worker and resident would be afforded the right and effective means to participate personally in capital ownership accumulations, in profits, and in local decision making.
