The Empathic Civilisation (Jeremy Rifkin)

Highly recommended animation by Jeremy Rifkin on the need for the next phase of human development.

Excerpts soon

Why include articles on social evolution and politics and what have they to do with Productive-Creativity?

The next and emerging social paradigm will be that which goes beyond the self-centred new-age philosophies (a la The Secret) to one that embraces the wider reality of which we are all part.

Insofar as that will become the dominant paradigm (either that or as Jeremy warns, "we won't make it"), then empathy, consideration for the wider environment, and the wellbeing of others will be essential to business.

[given the central importance of this emerging paradigm, another tag "Social evolution" has been included. It infers the individuals within our global society have sufficiently changed for those changes to be reflected in local and global social/political/economic activities and structures.]
