Speaking of old paradigms... there are some 'socially aware' businesses around the world who have adopted the Triple Bottom Line operating and accounting philosophy of PPP, which stands for People, Planet, Profit...
Now, in my opinion, they've still got the focus wrong: It should be PLANET, PEOPLE, PROSPERITY....
As a species we are merely one variety of life in the ecosphere; we seem to have developed the arrogance of
thinking the planet is our playground and we can do what we want to it, regardless of the rights of other species....
None of the beings on this planet can live within a damaged ecosphere, so our first responsibility is to the PLANET...
And I think the word PROFIT ought to be replaced by PROSPERITY... profit still implies exploitation and benefit only for some, while prosperity implies benefit for all...
