In the fall of 2003, I moved to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, to found the Center for Global Justice. Two colleagues from the Radical Philosophy Association, Bob Stone and Cliff Durand, accompanied me. Our motive was and is to study the affects of neoliberal globalization on Mexico, a NAFTA partner, and on the third world. See www.globaljusticecenter.org My trajectory to the study of economic deocracy, cooperatives, Marxism and Sartre’s theories of history and morality started with Sartre and subsequently took a detour through French literature in which I hold a Ph.D. I then began my study of economic democracy in the early 1990s by giving lectures in Moscow to workers about the possibilities of worker-owned, worker-managed enterprises. My life has been informed by the search to understand human freedom and morality. Two questions lie at the basis of this search: how can we enhance human freedom and ensure real freedom for all, and how can one be moral without believing in a god. less
