Money and Life: Ecologizing Growth

Money and Life: Ecologizing Growth
The words economy and ecology share the same root -- the Greek word meaning household. Could a change in how we view economic systems create a change in how we view ourselves? Ecologize Growth is a five-minute video based on the documentary 'Money and Life', and seeks to answer that question. This micro-film is a challenge to the commonly accepted infinite growth paradigm of the modern economy. It brings in the voices of several luminaries -- Jean Houston, Brother David Steindl-Rast, Lynne Twist -- who explore old and new perspectives and belief systems about money and how all of these can affect society's shared well-being, co-creative potential and evolving consciousness.
