If there is to be an ecologically sound society, it will have to come the grass roots up, not from the top down.

How is it that we have created an economic system that tells us it is cheaper to destroy the earth and exhaust its people than to nurture them both? Is it rational to have an pricing system which discounts the future and sells off the past? How did we create an economic system that confused capital liquidation with income?

We have an economy that tells us it is cheaper to destroy earth in real time rather than renew, restore, and sustain it. You can print money to bail out a bank but you can't print life to bail out a planet.

We are the only species on this planet without full employment.

In short, industrialism is over.

The promise of business is to increase the general well-being of humankind through service, a creative invention and ethical philosophy.
