Renowned economist Bernard Lietaer links the patriarchal economic system to the current financial crisis. He believes a shift back to a matrifocal system would balance masculine and feminine impulses, leading to greater societal and fiscal stability.
I don't know whether it'll be of help or not, but I'd invite you to visit my blog site at ' the integral economist '. I've endeavored to present a comprehensive overview of Bernard Lietaer's work with links to supporting papers and a video on comparable subject matter from TEDxBerlin in November of 2009.
So much that this guy says isn't correct. Alot just wouldn't work, one or two aren't feasable yet (but I accept the concept, yes), and some stuff is just rubbish.
Am I missing a whole lot or does this guy talk quite alot of garbage?
