Creating a Caring Economics: the Future of a Humanitarian Economy
Monday, April 23, 7:00 pm
2040 N. Milwaukee Ave.
Are current economic systems working? What is missing from
finance-based systems?
Social scientist and author Riane Eisler will read from her latest book, The Real Wealth of Nations: Creating a Caring Economics at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 23rd. The event will take place at In These Times' offices at 2040 N. Milwaukee Ave. Copies of The Real Wealth of the Nations: Creating a Caring Economics will be available for purchase at this free event. Donations are encouraged.
In The Real Wealth of Nations: Creating a Caring Economics, Eisler exposes a fundamental problem in modern economics – the lack of visibility and value of the most essential human work of all: the work of caring and caregiving. As a solution, Eisler develops a new full-spectrum model that encompasses the life-sustaining activities in both households and the natural environment. Through her proposed measures, policies, and practices, Eisler seeks to achieve the ultimate goal: the realization of our enormous human potential.
