THE FUTURE OF MONEY Bernard A. Lietaer - library.uniteddiversity ...

If Toffler is right, and if a monetary system compatible with this
view is allowed to manifest, then Sustainable Abundance is our
future.
Conclusion
We are not dealing with a traditional economic, financial or
monetary crisis. We are living through a major mutation of the socioeconomic
fabric of our global civilisation. This mutation can lead to
several outcomes, and it is not preordained which one we will finally
experience. The quicker we realise that the traditional solutions will
not be appropriate for our current situation, the faster we can create
the emotional, political and intellectual framework where
appropriate solutions may emerge.
A post-industrial mutation is upon us in any case, and I believe that
the best way for us deal with it is by consciously uncentralizing and
empowering human creativity at all levels. The three waves to
Sustainable Abundance would enable this to happen.
As Sir Eric Tilgner put it: 'Destiny is not a matter of chance. It is a
matter ofchoice.'
Just remember that we are doing: the choosing for your children,
for your children's children, and for a significant part of the
biosphere as well.
