This one-day forum will shine a light on the perennial economic wisdom and teachings that have guided great civilizations in the past.

Our current system of neoliberal economics is a false and deceptive ideology that is causing enormous personal/planetary pain, grotesque wealth inequality and unending wars. Sacred Rule Economics sets forth principles and policies that guided several ancient civilizations in attaining a high degree of social harmony, overall well-being and the flourishing of the arts. This one-day forum will shine a light on these perennial wisdom teachings and suggest ways they can be put in place in New York and worldwide. By the end of the forum you may have clear ideas about what you can do to pull our country out of its current nosedive, end the corruption of economics, and build a “win-win” world that works for everyone.
