"Factor 10" economic principles pioneered by the author
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Learning To Count What Really Counts: The Economics Of Wholeness by award winning economist Tom Bender is a serious and profoundly instructive look at the economic "bottom line" from a fresh, important, insightful perspective: that of "Factor 10" economic principles pioneered by the author. The critical thread is that economic principles and sustainability can have a groundwork in compassion and sacred values, and furthermore, without this groundwork comes the inevitability of modern religious fundamentalism and terrorism. An at once both disturbing and hopeful analysis, all the more powerful because the original manuscript was completed just days before the events of September 11. Learning To Count What Really Counts is above all about the importance of getting more true enjoyment out of less clutter and waste, and finding true meaning and harmony in life rather than attempting to fill the void with mindless consumerism. A truly seminal and ground breaking study, Learning To Count What Really Counts is strongly recommended to students in the field of economics and an important, core title for economic studies supplemental reading lists and academic reference collections.
