[GMW #2915] Oikos Nomos - Devise A New Planetary Economic System




[GMW #2915] Oikos Nomos - Devise A New Planetary Economic System
Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3309 ~
Capitalism has done wonders for humanity and we must be thankful for it.  But its growth and success has created a lopsided power which is now destroying the Earth due to over-population and the over-consumption of the Earth's elements and resources. 

We must urgently remedy this situation and devise a new planetary economic system (oikos nomos, Greek the management of our home) for the benefit of all humanity, the preservation of the Earth and the proper survival and evolution of both.  This is our most urgent task and duty toward the future generations.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume I Chapter 5 The Miracle of Individual Life
In the end, we must be concerned not with materialism or spirituality, religion or atheism, capitalism or communism, nationalism or internationalism, individualism or altruism, but with the immensely more profound question:

what do these vast, stupendous mysteries around us mean,
what is the purpose of life,
why do we live and die,
what sense does it make,
what is our ultimate reason for being,

how can we enjoy and fulfill our extraordinary gift of life instead of believing,  doing, learning, reading and coveting what a few privileged, often misguided individuals tell us or sell us to do?
