framing it in the way we've been framing it may tend to siloization
growth as a goal
capital as a framework
competition, and winners vs. losers
game plans for ag, etc.
entrapment / impotence of NGOs
- compromising values
- NGOs are businesses
  - business models based on fear
  - clients are capitalist businesses
money needs to be involved to fix things
markets
- too conservative for the amount of organization we need to muster (needs to be Marshall Plan level)
- "innovation" is sort of stuck in market ideology
