| 內容簡介 | Featuring profiles of visionary entrepreneurs, economists, and activists, this 12-part public television series delves into hot-button ethical issues at the heart of international business. Each program investigates corporate challenges and solutions related to the triple bottom line—an increasingly popular term for standards of human dignity, environmental stewardship, and financial profit that guide socially responsible commerce. Building on the real-world expertise of its guests, commentators, and creator—renowned scholar Hazel Henderson, author of the book Ethical Markets—the series serves as a video forum for bold “green business” ideas. Portions of this series appear in the program The New Green Revolution (item #37435). 12-part series, 28 minutes each.
The love economy:
What forms the bedrock of America’s wealth? Home ownership? Small businesses? Wall Street? This program lays out an entirely different economic conception, pointing to the vast amount of unpaid labor and services that keep the rest of society afloat. Riane Eisler, author of The Real Wealth of Nations, analyzes the significance of volunteer work, medical support provided by family members, and other hidden or uncompensated labor. Activist Vandana Shiva sheds light on the nonmonetary contributions of small farmers around the world, while economist Hazel Henderson maps out the place of the “love economy” within the conventional one. Barter is also explored, with the help of Time Dollars creator Edgar Cahn and Barter News editor Bob Meyer. (28 minutes)[註: 本片為1區英文版影片]<摘錄自媒體封面或內頁> |
