BECAUSE PEOPLE MATTER
Building An Economy That Works for Everyone
by Jurriaan Kamp |
|
|
|
|
|
Our economy is focused on growth and profit. In any given
business, success is measured by the flow of money, not the
interest of the people involved. In Because People Matter,
author Jurriaan Kamp tells us why there are better
alternatives. Kamp argues that the world economy is not only
based on money, but on human choices as well. It is those
human choices that can promote the change necessary to
transform our current crisis into a healthier economy that
serves everyone. He offers insights on subjects such as a new
method of dealing with national income; taxing the use of raw
materials rather than income; a world trade based on
reciprocity; money without interest; and the liability of
shareholders and managers for negligence and environmental
damage. Borrowing ideas from prominent economists, Kamp offers
a coherent set of conditions for an economy in which it is the
people that matter. |

"A wonderful and concise handbook of how modern economic
theory has dealt a body blow to the prospect of a humane
world. Jurriaan kamp also shows the vectors of change that can
lead us away from being economic ciphers to a system that
enlivens and redefines what it means to be a human being."
Paul Hawken, Environmentalist, entrepreneur and
best-selling author of The Ecology of Commerce
"A powerfully persusaive chronicle of why opposition to the
current brand of globalization is certain to grow." Jeff
Gates, author of The Ownership Solution and Democracy
