The Northwood Idea

We believe in a system not forced into conformity with some master plan. We believe that it is the differences among us that make us interesting and useful to each other. We think this is as true in the philosophical and artistic as it is in the economic realm. Freedom from conformity releases the juices of creativity and our differences become strengths of our association, not hindrances to our existence. Thus, we insist on a system that recognizes our differences as individuals from each other, and turns those differences to positive use rather than attempting to eliminate them.
