Holistic Political Economy gets a new look site.
I have fixed the issue with footnotes, updated the software and given the site a new look which I hope is more user friendly. Essays are now on the top menu and in future will allow comments. I have added a BLOG which will also allow comments.
Tell me what you think.
In order to comment you need to register, you can do this by clicking "Create an account" in the comments section under this post.

I have decided to use comments because I know there is an audience for the ideas expressed here. I always thought I was sensing a shift in the zeitgeist, towards more collaboration, systems thinking and the application of knowledge about what works and what will get the best out of people. I have been both disappointed and encouraged. It's disappointing that I'm still a one man band, it's encouraging I have had so many hits and readers.
Time to get organised?
The site has had over 50k hits and 10k of you have read significant chunks of it. The usage stats suggest there may be an appetite to set up what I called The Hope Association, many of you go straight to Section 4, Tactics - Orgnisation and read about it. It will need a number of people working together to get it off the ground but if the tories can launch pop-con then I don't see why pragmatic progressives who believe in participation and inclusion shouldn't. I know there are a huge number of overlapping groups who share many of the ideas expressed here and I don't want to reinvent the wheel but at the very least there should be room for networking and cross fertilisation.
So here's to the next 5 years, can we do this? Tell me what you think.
I find the new improved website a real improvement- much more user friendly and inviting to read.
