Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. For, indeed, that's all who ever have. —Margaret Mead Mainstream economics and many fund fiduciaries assume people are sepa rate from nature and behave like robots. Once central to economic theory, justice and other human values appear as a foreign language. This is a call to action. We cannot depend on elites; individuals must reintroduce values to the world of commerce. Global warming, the disappearing middle class, terrorism—we are plagued by a host of problems that seem too big for the individual to make a difference. Most of us are too focused on earning a living and raising our families to do anything other than vote and donate to a few special causes. We hope powerful elites will take more comprehensive action. But if the system is working for them—if they are already part of the proverbial 1 percent—how likely are they to work for change? To restore a salubrious environment and to make our economy work for most of us, we need a fundamental reboot. Individuals can make a real difference. After all, we form the basis of society. Without real people, acting fully human, our institutions—our families, governments, schools, commercial and religious organizations—become hollow shells.
