"Life, Money & Illusion"

Short Description

"Life, Money & Illusion" explains the odd
situation of our times. While our biggest problems
result from the magnitude of our activities
(depletion of natural resources; conflict over remaining
supplies; and pollution from expanding consumption),
governments and industry strive for ever more
expansion. In addition to showing how this situation
came about, "Life, Money & Illusion" identifies
the direction in which a stable relationship with our
finite planet can be found, and identifies numerous ways
for moving in that direction.

In the title, "Life" refers to the biological
processes by which living things maintain themselves
over time; "Money" refers to the present economic
ideology that says that as long as the volume of money
changing hands increases, all will be well. "Illusion"
refers to the fact that these two perspectives are
directly opposed in terms of how they would solve
current problems.

"Life, Money & Illusion" introduces the "Question
of Direction" by which we can determine which direction,
economic expansion or sustainability, offers our childrens'
children the most promising future.
