'Our economic and ecological crises share a common solution. A truly sustainable economy has all interests working in harmony. Its only unit of exchange is based upon genuine giving and taking - a new "gold" standard based upon kindness.' This book uses astro-cycles to explain why the world economic crisis is happening, how it could have been avoided and certainly can be avoided in the future.

This is an in-depth explanation of why we need astrology in the modern world. It is based on the view that the mentality of modern scientism may be the cause of our contemporary problems rather than the solution. The book imagines a world that combines modern mechanical brilliance with compassionate understanding of every person's unique individuality. It suggests that 300 years ago the Enlightenment threw out this possibility, and then envisions a 21st century paradigm that reverses this and creates better social conditions on Earth.
