THE RELIGION OF ECONOMICS

The fact that economics, the most pious religion the world has ever known, has managed to audaciously disguise itself as secular is the real key to its unprecedented success.

Not only secular but a science. Not just a science but the only one of the social sciences hard enough to have its own Nobel prize.

The first step to killing this false god and freeing the Earth from its thrall is to unmask it, to name it, to say it like it is.

John Seed will tell the story of this strange religion, one whose Sabbath lasts five days out of seven, while for the truly devout, maybe 6 or even 7 days are spent worshipping in huge complexes of temples that scrape the sky, foul the waters and scorch the Earth.

When not in their office temples, the pious congregate in malls to shop unto exhaustion of the spirit and of the Earth itself.

John will conclude with the story of deep ecology and propose that reconnecting with the living Earth is what we are actually hungry for and The Work That Reconnects dissolves the need for all the “stuff” that the advertising industry is trying to sell us to fill the gaping hole that is left when we are torn from our original Nature.

This is a hybrid event, both face to face and zoom. A link to the recording of the event will be sent to all who register.
