Ecology, Economic Growth and New Work

 -The Job-System continuously and constantly compels us to create ever more Economic Growth – for the simple reason that we perpetually need more jobs. But this constant coerced enlargement is in collision (like two trains colliding) with all attempts to move us towards a greener economy or culture. Anyone who is serious about Ecology should therefore partner with the campaign of New Work to create a Work-System that is superior and different from the Job-System - that among other great advantages will eliminate the relentless ineluctable pressure for more Economic Growth. To reiterate: if you are in earnest about the climate-- the depletion of resources-- and the ruination of nature-- calamities then partner with New Work and help us to strengthen it.

"I have tried to evolve an organically integrated set of policy proposals that would have the power not only to stop the appalling deterioration of our country – her accelerating descent into a pit of cynicism, passivity, violence and despair – but that, instead, would define a step by step process leading us back to the path of our original mission: to becoming the greatest force on the globe in the struggle for a more humane, a more intelligent and a more life-giving culture."
