"These non-legislative proposals are meant to engender public deliberation, in preparation for ultimate legislative action.”

Deliberation leading to Legislation.

Yes.

This is the strategy we need today, to rewrite our social narratives, of the possible and the permissible, and update our social norms, of the right, the true, the good and the beautiful, so that these new norms can then be codified into new laws.

Deliberation is a process of popular participation in curated conversations at the vanguard of public discourse, to hold our institutions of social choosing accountable for authenticity and integrity in their individual exercises of their institutional authority/power true to their institutional agency/purpose/mission.

That discourse must begin with a stock-take on the institutional architecture of human social choosing, to make sure that our inventories of institutional agencies is complete, and to rectify our taxonomies of institutional authority in society.

An important chunk of that institutional architecture is missing in our current narrative.

That is the agency of Pensions & Endowments to transform socially purposed savings into other than privately self-interested capital to finance non-shareholder purposed entities doing business within the carrying capacity of the planet.

Deliberation on this agency is the gateway to Degrowth by Design.
