Things Don’t Have to be This Way

Chapter 7 in The Coming First World Debt Crisis, 2006, pp 163-181 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter offers a modest contribution to the debate on how we should move beyond globalization. It outlines in five steps just some of the ethical principles, policies, political organization and personal changes that I believe could form the basis of a new, great transformation: away from debt, avarice, usury and exploitation; and towards a world of balance, stability, justice, equity and peace. It includes a short homily on how we could change and improve our own lives. These steps, I would suggest, are just some of those that must be taken if Finance is once again to be subordinated to the interests of humanity and the earth.
