Browsing through Alvin and Heidi Toffler's Revolutionary Wealth a few months ago, the seed of a knowing took articulation, and has increasingly found resonance in the way we live.
What is the future of wealth? It is not more and more money that will get us the quality of life that we want, but it is creative thinking that will manifest greater prosperity in our lives. Money has become the bloated, inconstant middleman that is not serving us very well. I'm not saying no money at all, but consider the autonomy of the individual networking with other individuals in barter and trade-offs that provide proportionately appropriate value for that which we need.
Even nations are looking at alternatives to assess the state of their health, using Gross National Happiness as an index, for example.
So monetary and industrial economics have completed their utility- whither a peaceful one?
