We are the world ... and the world is round. The (world) economy is a circular process in which all people must participate. It is this cycle that any true economic policy has to hold in view and strive to keep going in as much a wholesome and balanced way as possible.
- all people must stay involved in the economy (as producers and/or consumers).
- they can do so in a number of economic ways, not only through money and market. Voluntary service, barter, self-sufficiency in public markets, communities or private homes are all 'economy'.
- we must guard the sustainability of the production and consumption cycles, lest they will not continue to cycle well in the future.
- empowerment is the deepest human value underlying all economic activity and planning; as the fundament, as the goal.
[empowerment is the capacity to live from self-defined views and goals and act from self-chosen strategies, while not hindering others to do the same]
