Blueprint for Local Harmony: A People's Guide to Utopia (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Despite astounding technological progress, humanity has yet to figure out the best way to organize society, business and government. Not only does this book show how humanity can organize to get along, it demonstrates how people can prosper by getting along. The missing piece of the human puzzle is a way of organizing that brings out the best in people by taking advantage of human nature to our mutual advantage.

This People's Guide puts you in the driver's seat with a roadmap by your side. It addresses the missing piece of the puzzle with a very specific, highly detailed plan to form what is called a people's corporation, which is limited to 10,000 members. The plan begins with business because the biggest hurdle to achieving true peace and prosperity is finding a way to make money that brings people together rather than driving them apart.

The book synthesizes ancient wisdom, Enlightenment thinking and modern scholarship and draws from a broad sweep of history: ancient to medieval to modern. With a series of prehistorical imaginings, the author explores the origins of agriculture, villages, private property, trade, specialization, industry and law. A series of famous thinkers are thumbnailed as utopiansPlato, Jesus, Adam Smith and Karl Marx. The topics of liberalism, conservatism, socialism and capitalism are clarified with precise definitions.

The big mystery remains why people can't get along. People continue to fight at all levels of society in all parts of the world. Yet the pursuit of local harmony begins with how people treat one another. Harmony can prevail when we concentrate on cultivating our strengths rather than preying on one another's weaknesses. The selfish pursuit of wealth has surely proven its power to bring out the devil in people. The fresh way of organizing described in the pages of Blueprint for Local Harmony will bring out the better angels of our human nature... finally.

Some futurists believe perfecting artificial intelligence will be humanity's greatest achievement. Others insist colonizing Mars will eclipse all previous human accomplishments. I strongly beg to differCreating a harmonious, thriving society will be our greatest triumph, because without thatbefore long, everything else humankind has accomplished will be for naught.

The answer, my friends, is no longer blowing in the windthe answer is local harmony, today and forever. The challenging endeavor of establishing a truly harmonious society will give our lives a clear direction, a real meaning and a greater purpose. We will transform ourselves by transforming the world together. Life's great mysteries are perplexing, yet discovering a way to love one another in a big way will begin to solve the human mystery.

When I was fourteen or so, at a Saturday night dinner party, a drunken uncle attempting to inspire a young lad told me if I really wanted to make a significant contribution to humanity, I should devise a plan for world peace. He related his desire for world peace from his hard-won experience living through the German occupation of Lithuania and the aftermath of the Second World War. Both my parents had lived through World War Two and I had heard my share of war stories growing up. The Great War was the great tragedy and turning point for many of the elder folk gathered in the family living room. This uncle said the basic problem was people killing one another for no good reason. His proposition, succinctly stated, was there must be a way people can settle all the conflict in the world. Being young and impressionable I took him seriously and made this a life-assignment. At the time, 1974, I assumed other people, older and wiser than myself, were hard at work pursuing this loftiest of endeavors.

After ten years in the costume jewelry business as a retailer, importer, manufacturer and wholesaler, I sought refuge from the wreckage of my decade-long entrepreneurial escapade, so in January, 1993, I escaped on a two-year transcontinental journey, Along the way I met many well-intention people disenchanted with the world much the same way I was. I thought there must be a way to bring good people together to do a new thing. After meeting a wide range of people and experiencing many local cultures across the vast North American landscape, I began to envision what a better, more enlightened world would look like. I flashed back to the family living room and crazy Uncle Ed, and recalled the assignment given me twenty years earlier to devise a plan for world peace. I quickly realized it takes a change of heart to live in peace, and that peace is not going to happen accidentally or spontaneously. Peace is going to start with a group of people somewhere, then many groups of people in many places and spread from the local level to the national then the international level.

Once one completes a vision quest and starts to write a book, it's hard to stop. So I became a good writer not because I wanted to be a good writer, rather because I had something I urgently needed to express. Sorry it took so long, and I had to earn my college degree in the meantime, but here it is for your reading pleasure. It's a trip--I know you're going to like it--maybe...
