The document outlines 16 "building blocks" that could be used to transition from a capitalist economy to a green, entrepreneurial, cooperative caring economy. These building blocks include strengthening regional business networks, supporting cooperatives, helping with business startups, developing community development corporations, certifying green businesses, achieving 100% renewable energy, establishing public banking, and measuring economic progress through genuine progress indicators. The transition is envisioned to take place block by block in the same incremental way that capitalism was established historically.
