"If we hope to overcome the many practical, environmental and economic challenges that we can no longer avoid facing, perhaps now really is the moment to change our thinking, so that we can assess not only costs, but quality; to shift from our obsession with competitiveness and economic resilience; to measure sustainability as well as GDP and to elevate the emphasis on well-being rather than simply growth!
Perhaps if we did this it would be possible to accelerate more rapidly our departure from the Age of Disconnection and to enter what could be the next historic phase: what we might call the Age of Harmony – certainly of Integration.
History shows that we can change, and change rapidly if we need to."
(King Charles III, 2010 page 275) HARMONY: A NEW WAY OF LOOKING AT OUR WORLD.
