Two strong campaigning articles in favour of C&C in high profile media:
-

[1] In the Europe-wide edition of LEXUS magazine in all European
languages - “Its a war on Error”: -

Born in Britain but raised and schooled in apartheid-era South Africa,
Meyer is acutely aware of the perils of inequality and of the need for a
global agreement to be truly global. ‘By definition you can’t possibly
resolve this situation on a separated basis,’ he says. ‘Separate
development is not sustainable development. Global apartheid doesn’t
work.’

[2] In the UK Cooperative Movement’s newly formatted magazine REACT,
which goes to 2 million readers in the UK: -

‘It’s interesting,’ he tells Re:act. ‘There are very definitely
parallels between playing a violin and what I’m doing with C&C.

When you play the violin, how do you know where to put your fingers on
the fingerboard? You can’t see anything that tells you where to go.

You can provide a teasing answer by saying, well, how long is a piece of
string? To a violinist it’s exactly twice half its length. There’s a
very real structure inside that length of string that gives you all of
the notes and the proportionality, where things are found and placed –
and you play with that.

You can only play because of it.

Contraction and convergence is sort of a 100-year-long fingerboard.
