I live completely off grid in a beautiful remote area at the bottom of Snowdonia National Park. 20 years ago I was a CEO of a public listed company. Since then I have acted as a Mediator and Mentor and worked as a stone sculptor and photographer - more in my LinkedIn. I read E F Schumachers Buddhist Economics in Small is Beautiful in the 1990’s and it has always been one of the most powerful influences on my thinking. However I could not see how leaders in short term democracies in growth orientated economies were going to be able to sell his vision to the voters which was a bit depressing. Then I heard Kate Raworth’s recent interview with Messrs Campbell and Stewart which struck a very large chord! I am so concerned about how unfettered capitalism is causing so much damage for the next generations to deal with but I have felt pretty powerless. Organisations like the DEAL Community give me some hope.
