Values-Oriented Economy Workgroup Lowerey, Jacobs, Lehrheuer et. Al.

 
Values-oriented economy. What would an economic system look like that was designed to serve our highest ethical, spiritual and/or religious purposes-namely, to build a world of kindness, justice, and peace? How can economic life contribute to human stewardship of the planet rather than an ethos of exploitation? Is the Social Responsibility Amendment to the U.S. Constitution a necessary part of spiritual activism? Is the Sabbatical Year a viable option? What is progress and when is it appropriate to limit innovation or the development of new products in the name of other values?
