Was: Hearing, Now: Need for Change

Joe and All,

I can recommend a fabulous book that addresses this very thing,

it's called The Real Wealth of Nations by Riane Eisler.

It's about creating a " Caring " economy that values things such as child care,

food, clean water, etc.

She proposes a " more equitable and sustainable economic system " based on the

" essential work of caring for people and nature. "

It is really a fascinating read! Be forewarned though, she is a feminist and

makes a point that this devaluation of caring work, or even caring itself, is

due to a masculine dominated society.

Eisenstein's newest book, The Ascent of Humanity also has alot to offer.

It starts with the idea of " Separateness " . How the belief we are separate from

each other, nature, and the universe has brought us to the place where we are

now. And how we can converge to create a new reality.

P.S. I thought only my mother said " durn " ! Love you Joe!
