Chapter Chapter 30 in The Kyoto Manifesto for Global Economics, 2018, pp 509-519 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Chapters in the Conclusions Suite overview the evolving argument of the book, represented in the previous ‘Movements’ of the argument’s Symphonic form. Having now established the fundamental piers on which we can build a new Global Economics Platform, Chapter 30, drawing together the lessons of the Fourth Movement, now builds that platform. The central reference point is the depth of our spirituality, which in turn, is anchored at its deepest level in the cosmic Void and our non-material genesis within a material world. Connected is our creativity in an open world, not closed into self-interested separation. A caution is added that whilst scientific explanation is immensely valuable it is not enough, as it limits human experience in validity to what is legitimated in scientific explanation, thus excluding the irrational, non-recurrent, non-constant phenomena which make up this human experience. Chapter 30 is a rich analysis which defies further summary as it trawls back through the whole book for the way forward. Contrast of lessons learnt is made in the Fourth Movement against economics based in alternate belief systems, Buddhist and Islamic, as well as against a ‘hospitality’ model derived from Western philosophic principles and the practical case of the Mondragon Movement originating out of southern France, and micro-producing communities elsewhere.
