Economics in which
- kindness is not ‘loss-making’
- fundamental respect is never a ‘cost’
- judgement is discouraged
- value of something will not be measured on just ‘convenient’ methods
- definitions are considered ‘work-in-progress’ until they work nourishing-ly and sustainably for all, and not just sweet deals for some.
- living based on compassion and kindness is not a ‘cost’ that works against you (same as the 1st bullet above)
Economics that reflect, support and inspire an evolution from fear to love, from power to love.

– Proposals for the Feminine Economy (book) - “Anything without a monetary exchange value is {considered} invisible, outside economic logic. These “externalities” are the counterpart of Galileo’s excluded subjective properties (only that which can be measured, denominated, counts). They are also counterpart to the “other” that technology makes of the world. Herein lies the fundamental difference between modern economies and natural ecologies.”
