Example: Playing with a Progressive Narrative
Commonweal Institute BlogJanuary 9, 2007 Posted by Dr. Katherine Forrest
In her January 2007 blog, Dr. Katherine Foster writes about how a progressive narrative can be a vehicle for bringing together our values, our past, and our dreams for the future. Foster explains how the public structures concept could be a central component of such a narrative. She writes:
“Tying all these threads together, the progressive narrative, which is based on the values of empathy, responsibility, and community, brings together
--the creation and maintenance of Public Structures, which are common assets in which all can share;
--proposals to restore our Public Structures and create new ones; and
--the recognition of our responsibility to protect the commons as our birthright and that of future generations.”
