The New Economy Challenge: Implications for Higher Education
It was a risky experiment, however, because the capacity for self-awareness gives us an ego that can run out of control if it forgets that it exists only as part of a larger whole. As our human consciousness was first awakening, our capacities for conscious self-direction grew. A new economy requires a new approach to education.

  • A Better Way of Making a Living
    healthy self reliant local community focusing on each other and on giving support will provide greater cradle-to-grave security than our "all about me" culture. Produce what you need now and some reserves, but not a large surplus that can be concentrated. We can't go back to Homo hunter-gatherer. Is there another way forward?

  • Maui Utopia
    Then consider our 4 or 5-day supply of food and our inability to produce fuel and food locally - why do we tolerate this state of affairs? This sacrifice of self-reliance in exchange for exportable crops like sugar and pineapple has resulted in dead plantations, depleted soils, poisoned water and a minimum of locally grown food.
