Global Topics
Economics is not about things and tangible material objects;
it is about men, their meanings and actions.
-- Ludwig von Mises
New and alternative economic approaches can help us build a better world through wiser, more efficient, and more humane economic policies and structures. See our other pages on related issues,
Topics: Sustainability Topics:Ecology and Globalization for other specific information on those areas. While there are many websites pertaining to traditional and customary economics, here we wish to address new and alternative economic thinking that is founded in ecological economics, sustainable development, and alternate viewpoints that address human factors, ecological impacts, and a long term view of the health of our planetary system. It's also useful to understand how our current economic system has generated an enormous amount of problems itself. A strictly profit motive approach to economics leads to a profit motive approach to life, it appears - this may be unworkable for a sustainable approach to life on this planet: see Economics of Starvation for an initial insight into how this can be the case.
A major mainstay of our current economic system is the multinational corporation -
yet the price we pay for allowing corporations the freedom they have may be greater than we wish to pay.
Corporations, Social Structures, and the Future
outlines some of the major issues and approaches being suggested to cure the ills they cause. Further additions to this and all sections are appreciated.

>> I see a glitch in that when you search for "Paul Hawkin"
Erm... check your spelling please... "Hawken" not "Hawkin" :) the ghost in the machine 06/21/03 18:07:53 GMT |
I see a glitch in that when you search for "Paul Hawkin" as a regular expression or case specific nothing come up. When you search for "Natural Capitalism" something comes up. Not sure but maybe this is because the "Paul Hawkin" is often italisized on the pages when referred to.
