Using economic rather than humanitarian principles to organize human society has brought us to where we are. It’s important for all of us to remember that, because on the other side of this we should commit to never making that mistake again.

This is a false dichotomy. Economic principals are humanitarian in nature. People trade and barter goods and services for their mutual benefit.

Sacred Economics by Charles Eisenstein. Must read.

Not only do we need to organize society around humanitarian principles, we also can shift how we value work and service by measuring and rewarding positive impact. One of the promising possibilities is #Copiosis. copiosis.com/

Many humanistic psychologists like Maslow and Rogers theorized/ researched a better way to priotize human needs over materialism and greed. Maslow showed we need to fulfill basic human needs so people can reach their full potential. Rogers used empathy to foster peace & harmony.

The machine of economy that we've created is destroying the very things that support it: cultures, creativity, possiblity. Imagine how better run the machine would be if the seed within each was allowed to bloom.

Human Centered Capitalism is the direction we need to go.

I love you Marianne, but we need humanitarian economic principles—they need to be integrated & balanced ☯—one or the other would be unsatisfactory. 🧬💆🏻‍♀️ <> 💸🦾 P.S., Rhetoric is a double-edged sword.

Economic in so far as it benefits 45.

Thinking of economics is thinking of people.
