The Real Wealth Of Nations book review
Posted by radicalfem on February 5, 2009
Riane Eisler, eminent Social Scientist, Partnership Educator, best selling author, attorney, and passionate activist has done it again. Until recently best known for her first book, The Chalice and the Blade, Eisler has written another powerful, cutting edge book, The Real Wealth of Nations. In this book, Eisler relates her vision of how a “caring economy” can lead the way to economic prosperity, a sustainable planet, and how our greatest asset, “we the people” can reconnect, resolve, and transcend personal and economic disaster. Through linking rather than ranking she builds a strong reformulation of institutions and systems that can advance a partnership society. Based on appreciation, caring, and nature, words usually not associated with economics, Eisler exposes the dominator paradigm as woefully inadequate and antiquated. In order to make this work, Eisler posits that we all must be a part of this work.
