Summary FREE The Dream, an initiative to revitalize the promise of democracy, was conceived and is being developed by Dr. Virgil A. Wood and Fred Stawitz to promote synergy between the Civil Rights Movement, the OccupyWallStreet Movement, and other similar efforts that recognize reform of current financial structures is a necessary step toward achieving the promise of democracy and self-determination by citizens of the United States and around the world. This is about moving society toward a more productive, quality-of-life-oriented existence by migrating the economy from Contemporary Capitalism to Democratic Capitalism, a system that respects the principles of democracy and better serves the interests of our society. Democratic Capitalism cycles capital through all levels of society. This allows all participants the opportunity to acquire wealth and ownership of the means of production either through investment of capital or investment of their labor. The result is a healthier economy which is driven by sustainable profit goals while respecting principles of economic democracy. It is an economy where workers are more productive due to their ownership of the process and ability to share in the profits of their collective successes. Plus, Democratic Capitalism facilitates political stability by giving the poor a path out of poverty and returning upward mobility to the Middle Class. Implementation of a new economic structure requires a significant effort to dislodge entrenched special interests that benefit from the current system at the expense of the rest of society. But, given the discontent the current system has generated, in America and around the world, there is no better time than now to pursue the goal of freeing the human spirit from the shackles of economic bondage underwritten by divisive politics. The numbers are in the favor of change in terms of people power, intellectual power, and economic power. Our financial transactions drive the economic engine. By focusing our collective power, we can withdraw our support from a system that benefits only a few and move it to a system that improves the quality of life for all. The dream is within reach, we can challenge and overcome the obstacles that block our way forward. Because these obstacles were constructed by man, they can be undone by us. Together, united as one, we can FREE The Dream and let the human spirit soar to exceptional heights!
