Sharing is our common future


There are already over seven billion people on the Earth this time.

Although so different we, the humanity, are but one family. We all are sharing our common home - the Earth. This two important recognitions must resonate throughout the human society.

We need to realize that we can not live peacefully together if we compete for Earth goods.

Food, water, air, soil, forests, energy resources; biodiversity and genes; education and healthcare, the Internet, cultural heritage and other “wealth of nations” are our common goods, belonging not just to some individuals, groups or nations, but to all humanity.

Competition between nations, companies and individuals for global goods are driven us on the brink of disaster. Commercialization, which base on competition, selfishness and greed, is becoming the main principle of our society. And that cause misery and destruction.

People can not possess the Earth and her goods. In reality, we are the custodians and wise managers of Earth wealth for the common good of all people. That is the noble task of economics.

Instead of destructive economic models of modern society, based on competition, selfishness and greed, we must recognize sharing as a key principle for new economic models and relationships.

With sharing people will trust each other, and there will be no place for poverty, hunger and conflicts between nations and individuals. Sharing is the noble path of peace and prosperity, understanding and empathy between people.

Sharing is our common future.
