Tiny book packed with wise words to change the world

Thinking hard about the future.
Learning from nature and Eco-systems...
In 'Sacred Economics' Charles Eisenstein writes,
" In nature head long growth and all out competition are features of immature eco-systems...the next stage of human economy will parallel what we are beginning to understand about nature. It will call forth the gifts of each of us;
it will emphasise co-operation over competition
it will encourage circulation over hoarding
and it will be cyclical not linear."
Quoted in 'The Serviceberry' by Robin Wall Kimmerer
