Our current economic system, which assumes endless growth and limitless potential wealth, flies in the face of the fact that the earth’s life support capacity is finite. This book, written by a cooperative group, emerged from the Quaker tradition of dialogue and truth seeking. Five questions become the premise of the books chapters: What is the economy for? How does it work? How big should it be? What is a fair distribution of its benefits and burdens? and How should it be governed? The introduction gets things started with definitions of key terms such as ‘right relationship’, ‘commonwealth of life and ‘whole earth economy’. The authors of this book are participants in the Moral Economy Project launched by the Quaker Institute for the Future in 2005. As part of that project the Quaker Institute sponsored and supported this book.
