Trusteeship: Antidote to Economic Collapse?

By Michael Nagler, August 16, 2011

Could an attitude of trusteeship turn our economic ship from one of greed and over-consumption into a sustainable system that provides opportunity for all rather than for few? Michael Nagler thinks so, and in this provocative article he outlines a case based on the work of Gandhi and economist David Korten. Regardless of one’s political affiliation or economic level, this article from Sojourners offers much for the careful steward to consider. (Photo by Ernst Vikne used under Creative Commons License.
