Eco-nomics for an Ecological Civilization

Source: https://davidkorten.org/eco-nomics-for-an-ecological-civilizataion/

This paper, a companion to my earlier paper “Ecological Civilization: From Emergency to Emergence,” outlines a big picture conceptual and interdisciplinary framework for a new eco-nomics that recognizes our distinctive human nature and purpose as living beings born of and nurtured by a living Earth. This new eco-nomics is dedicated to the love of life and recognizes that money is only a number with no meaning outside the human mind. It calls us to bring forth a true civilization, an Ecological Civilization, grounded in the principles of the Earth Charter.
