I agree Allan, but I think this goes deeper than most imagine.

ParticipantArraya: That’s a really cool article. I don’t know if you’ve read any Fritjof Capra (“The Tao of Physics”, “The Hidden Connections”), but he delves into the same subject matter, as well as Deep Ecology and Complexity Theory.
This is some interesting stuff.

GuestArraya, I read the article you referenced.
It’s more a philosophical discussion on the how we should look at life and health.
It doesn’t address how we get out of the current economic recession which was caused, not by government social programs but by irresponsible corporate behavior (banks).
The book authors don’t offer solutions for the recession. They claim that a more sustainable system will arise from the breakdown. But which system?
In the mean time, if we let the economy collapse, entire populations will be driven into poverty around the world. That would be contrary to the authors’ desires.
BL: Today we write off whole populations because they don’t fit into our economic models. There’s hope in our future, because the breakdown is necessary to build a more sustainable foundation. Some people will have terrible problems and others will have great success, yet they’re both part of a community.
In your body, no particular cells go hungry. Every cell must be fed for the body to be in harmony. When we begin to treat all humans as cells in one body, and make sure that they all get the basics in life, we create the foundation on which to build an exciting future.
Every cell counts. Every human counts.
As for a solution, it appears that the conservative Canadian model of finance worked pretty well.
– substantial downpayment required.
– prepayment penalty.
– no mortgage interest deduction.
– stricter rules.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/06/23/AR2010062304024.html
