We need a new economic system that incorporates caring for each other and nature.

"Economic systems are human creations. Every economic institution and program, from banks and corporations to unemployment insurance and Social Security, is a human invention.  The economic rules we we take for granted are human inventions.  We must decide which economic rules we want to keep and which we want to leave behind, and invent new economic rules that meet our authentic human needs.  If we join together to demand these new rules, we can each play a part in moving toward a more caring economics and a more caring world."

From "Real Wealth Of Nations" by Riane Eisler.
