(Note: This material appeared previously in Chum For Thought:
Throwing Ideas into Dangerous Waters by the same author.) This
historical essay, drawn from the deepest jungles of Uruguay in
South America, examines the creation of a flourishing culture and
economy that lasted for almost two centuries. It explores the
guided development of a virtuous web of social and economic
controls that mixed the philosophy of Catholic Jesuit missionaries
with the traditions of the native Guarani peoples. An unprecedented
experiment in progressive community-building may have once created
that rarest of cultural treasures - a functional and stable
utopia... ended only by outside pressures of conquest and
exploitation. This is a living parable for our changing world, now
suffering from seemingly-intractable political, cultural and
economic turmoil... and struggling to be born into a tenuous future
on uncertain threads of hope and despair. Rapid introduction of
technology, educational systems, health care systems and social
order have succeeded before - balancing competition and consumption
in a new kind of community - and might be made to work again as we
seek to create our own new economy. In this startling synthesis,
Mr. Satterlee brings together and introduces: historical records,
the social theories of the Catholic Church, the management theories
of Peter Drucker, the psycho-social theories of Don Beck's Spiral
Dynamics Integral, and the economics ideas of William Lewis and the
McKinsey Global Institute on the power of productivity.
