There is a deep and growing gap between the promises of the new global capitalism and the reality of insecurity, inequality, social breakdown, spiritual emptiness, and environmental destruction left everywhere in its wake. This book looks at what went wrong and why, drawing on insights from the new biology and our growing understanding of living systems to propose a solution - an economy that takes market principles seriously. The author outlines numerous specific actions to free the creative powers of individuals and societies through the realization of real democracy, the local rooting of capital through stakeholder ownership, and a restructuring of the rules of commerce to create "mindful market" economies that combine market principles with a culture that nurtures social bonding and responsibility.
