What is wealth? What is sustainable? How can wealth creation for our society be brought back into alignment with true happiness and well being? Where do wealth and sustainability intersect? Some say true wealth is "quality of life" - well then, What is quality of life? I'll survey thinkers, articles and topics to address these and related questions... "We don't see things as they are. We see them as we are." - Anais Nin

"Of Human Wealth: New Money for a New World" by Bernard Lietaer
Bernard Lietaer's new book "Of Human Wealth: New Money for a New World" outlines a pathway forward for humanity's monetary system.
"We can end the threats to our environment and aid dramatically in its restoration; we can help
provide meaningful work for all, with work that enhances and replenishes the world about us; we can effectively address fundamental urban and rural concerns and assist in the development of viable, sustainable communities; we can care for the sick and the elderly and provide all of our children with adequate shelter, healthcare, nutrition and decent educations. We can indeed create a better world where life and all living systems flourish. This is not an idealistic dream, but rather, a pragmatic attainment, and achievable within our very own lifetimes."
