Gaia meets C.A. Fitts. Left/Right, Red/Blue, Rich/Poor, Heart/Head make way for such new distinctions as Centralizing/Decentralizing, Local/Global, Transparent/Obfuscated, and Sustainable/Unsustainable. As the unreal wealth on Wall Street teeters on the edge of an abyss, it is good that some are turning to the creation and preservation of our natural wealth and our commonwealth.
I kid you not: in the notoriously progressive city in which I live, a local plumbing supply company advertises sustainable bathroom fixtures. Nothing on their billboard, however, mentions transparency.

Agreed that Green is the next bubble. Accountability and transparency may lag. On another note, consider how many marginal but very talented people you know who cannot accept life in a cubicle. Starting a business of one's own, like having your own house, is an American dream. What is wrong with that, really?
