About Me

Welcome!
This is a place where partnership methods are to be discussed. Riane Eisler's book "The Real Wealth of Nations" as well as her earlier works were the impetus to start this group and bring the caring economy theory to practice. Please read more about Riane's work here:
http://www.rianeeisler.com
Here's the back cover introduction to the book:
"The greatest problems of our time - poverty, inequality, war, terrorism, and environmental degradation - can be traced to flawed economic systems that fail to value and support the most essential human work: caring for people and the planet. Renowned social scientist Riane Eisler indoduces a bold reformulation: a "caring economics" that transewnds traditional categories like "capitalist" and "socialist" and offers enormous economic and social benefits. She provides a blueprint for putting this more human and effective economic system to work."
Some topics we will work with are:
Corporate responsibility, companies are doing it because they are seeing the long term benefit and are being proactive.
Partnership with yourself = eating organic food.
Partnership among countries = peaceful relations.
Helping to create a better world.
Partnership with the planet = creating a sustainable future, going green, building green, consuming sustainably.
Values, purpose, different dynamic, caring for each other.
The conscious consumer focus.
Please send me any resources on those subjects that you find particularly illuminating.
