Capitalism, as practiced, is a financially profitable, non-sustainable aberration in human development.
Paul HawkenInspiration is not garnered from the litanies of what may befall us; it resides in humanity's willingness to restore, redress, reform, rebuild, recover, reimagine, and reconsider.
Paul HawkenWe can no longer prosper by increasing human productivity. The more we try to do, the more poverty we will create.
Paul HawkenWe have reached a point where the value we do add to our economy is now being outweighed by the value we are removing, not only from future generations in terms of diminished resources, but from ourselves in terms of unlivable cities, deadening jobs, deteriorating health, and rising crime. In biological terms, we have become a parasite and are devouring our host.
