Default Re: Capitalism, Sustainability, and the Possibility of Global Collapse

It will be something completely new and synergistic, a little bit of all and then some more... Order out of chaos - works for those with positive and negative intent - the question will be - who decides on the new order?

Economics rules all other subjects and values in today’s world, we need to understand why this illusionary and unsustainable system rule our very existence, before we can begin to shift to the new paradigm.

To change to a more just, equitable and sustainable “need” paradigm, the understanding of how the current economy works, with its consequences for people, society and ecosystems is needed. In my opinion true wealth stems from the earth and all her resources and a local economy based on the skillful, sensitive use of local, natural resources will provide the best foundation for a sustainable economic future.
