Living together
Anne Adams believes we need a different economic system.
Sometimes it seems as if many of us are working in different areas, on what seem like different subjects, as if we were on a huge global plain, dry and dusty, and are trying to fertilise our bit by bringing small cans of water from wherever we can find a puddle. We are so intent on our task that we are oblivious of others. Bordering on this plane is a large dam, beyond which is a lake of fresh water. But we are too busy to notice this, or to think what we might do if we did notice it.
