Our economic systems are beginning to expose the first intimations of how drastically they've been failing us. Is this breakdown happening because our economics are reflecting the state of our ecosystems? Generations of economists have adhered with religious fervor to tenets of growth and free market dynamics that have detached from reality so drastically these beliefs have become superstitions that now drive our currencies to the brink of collapse. How can a naturally centered mindset re-focus our economic ideals?<\/p>\n

In\u00a0Extraenvironmentalist #18 <\/strong>we speak with John Michael Greer<\/a> about his latest book, The Wealth of Nature: Economics as if Survival Mattered<\/a>. <\/em>John blogs prolifically at The Archdruid Report<\/em><\/a> and has written several additional spectacular books on the precarious predicaments of industrial society like, The Long Descent<\/em><\/a> and The Ecotechnic Future<\/em><\/a>. As Grand Archdruid of the Ancient Order of Druids in America John's naturally focused mind shines an illuminating viewpoint on the fallacies of modern economics and how our physical reality can create a sustainable economic system. We discuss why people typically embrace denial when first encountering his ideas, the role his druid practice has had in revealing many fallacies of commonly held viewpoints about industrial society, the role of politics in the collapse of industrial civilization and what a day in the life of a druid looks like.<\/p>\n
