what is prosperity
Wednesday, May 28th, 2008
Prosperity. The dominant paradigm of economic growth leads us to global warming, petroleum depletion, growing poverty, paved over farmland, toxic landscapes, and ever more dangerous weaponry. The paradigm of a Prosperity oriented economy leads to healthy farms, new ways of looking at energy, peace, a non toxic landscape, and the end of poverty. Can we change the discussion in RI and actually seek prosperity? What would that look like?
