More humane societies are usually smaller, like the Scandinavian countries and Holland, where it is much easier to reach consensus and cooperation.

If there is to be a human future, we must bring ourselves into balanced relationship with one another and the Earth.

To create a world in which life can flourish and prosper we must replace the values and institutions of capitalism with values and institutions that honor life, serve life's needs, and restore money to its proper role as servant. I believe we are in fact being called to take a step to a new level of species consciousness and function.

If you look at the US economy over the last 15-20 years wages have been stagnating or even declining.

Capitalism and the market are presented as synonymous, but they are not. Capitalism is both the enemy of the market and democracy.

As an economy measures performance in terms of the creation of money, people become a major source of inefficiency.

We can have democracy and a prosperous, just, and sustainable human future. Or we can have corporate rule. We cannot have both.
