Sommario/riassunto

Many people are fed up with cold-hearted economic rules and practices. This book offers a holistic model for economics that goes beyond the confines of conventional models. It invites us to leave behind our preconceived notions and to change our economic systems - and lives - in ways that meet human needs and aspirations.
