      abstract = {"Traditional precepts of economic and business practice  rest upon a very limited view of both humankind and Nature.  People are cast as the most intelligent animal destined to  seek pleasure and avoid pain with the life-defining aim of  maximizing one's material self-interest. While this  worldview afforded tremendous wealth accumulation, it has  led to a reality of exploitation wherein care and concern  for human development and Nature are essentially  non-existent--an unsustainable reality.This book explains  that it need not be this way. A more developed  understanding shows people are intelligent, self-aware,  responsible, creative, self-initiating and meaning seeking  beings. It is argued this must inform economics and  business practice. To this end, Gregory Gull synthesizes  insights from varied disciplines such as: physics,  mythology, psychology, philosophy, statistics, and systems  theory to re-think the very intent of business and its  corresponding organizing and management principles. With  this, our future will be sustainable and experiences  meaningful. "--},
