SACRED ECONOMICS
Sacred Economics doesn’t blame capitalism for the problems we’re facing; it explains why we’ve outgrown the aggressive growth engine that drives our global economy. As a maturing species, we’re in need of new social systems that better reflect our modern life situation. By deconstructing our shared (and often unexamined) beliefs about how our economy works, Sacred Economics creates an opening through which we can reimagine and redefine human society.

GDP
First quarter GDP, following the massive tax cut that was supposed to serve as a stimulus, clocked in at a meager 1.7% after peaking at 2.9% in the fourth quarter of 2017, before the tax “stimulus” took effect. Unless GDP grows in excess of 3-4% annually, the deficits resulting from tax cuts will not be met with adequate tax revenue from increased profitability to cover the costs of their implementation. Not by a long shot.

Hopeful
Sometimes I am asked why I feel hopeful about the state of humankind. I’m hopeful for many, many reasons. I see the life experiments being run by millennials, and I rejoice. I observe the rising activism that isn’t self-serving, but focuses on improving the quality of life for everyone, and I rejoice. I notice the spiritual movements, the consciousness movements, minimalist and environmental movements, the social justice movements, and I rejoice.
