This could be our future : a manifesto for a more generous world / Yancey Strickler. by Strickler, Yancey, author. [New York] : Viking, [2019] Subjects Capitalism.   Values.   Generosity.   Social history -- Forecasting.   Social change.   Western countries -- Social conditions. ISBN:  9780525560821 (hardcover) : 0525560823 (hardcover) : Description:  xvi, 285 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "Western society is trapped by three assumptions: 1) That the point of life is to maximize your self-interest and wealth, 2) That we're individuals trapped in an adversarial world, and 3) That this is natural and inevitable. These ideas separate us, keep us powerless, and limit our imagination for the future. We see them as truth. They're not. They're a point of view that previous generations accepted. It's time we replace them with something new. This Could Be Our Future is about how we got here, and how we change course. While the pursuit of wealth has produced innovation and prosperity, it also established an implicit belief that the right choice in every decision is whichever option makes the most money. This belief in financial maximization has produced dire consequences: environmental collapse, corruption, inequality, and a growing dissatisfaction around the world. The answer isn't to get rid of money; it's to expand our concept of value. By assigning rational value to other values besides money--things like community, purpose, and sustainability--we can refocus our energies to build a society that's generous, fair, and ready for the future. By recalibrating our definition of value, a world of scarcity can become a world of abundance. Hopeful but firmly grounded, full of concrete solutions and bursting with creativity, This Could Be Our Future brilliantly dissects the world we live in and shows us a road map to the world we are capable of making"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.0978 St Checked In Add Copy to MyList Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 306.0978 St Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 306.0978 St Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.0978 St Checked In Add Copy to MyList Laupahoehoe P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 306.0978 Strickler Checked In Add Copy to MyList
