The New Rules was a periodic journal. In this global economy, the rules often benefit special interest groups and multinational corporations rather than individuals and communities. The New Rules focused on how to redesign the rules - from trade rules to local zoning codes - to strengthen local economies and encourage citizen involvement. Nominated for Utne Reader's 1999, 2000, and 2001 Alternative Press Awards.
