A small story of economic resistance from Aotearoa, [New Zealand]. We wanted to develop a way of transforming the logic of western commercial profit margins into a positive. By building in the redirection of the profit margin [at least at the retail end] we benefit communities in need who do not otherwise have access to western value margins. http://www.goodbooksnz.co.nz - is the Amazon alternative that gives all its retail income to fund projects providing water, santitation and education in communities in need.
