[GJM] Ecologically Sustainable livelihoods/incomes /habitats/trnsap[ortation systemts Re: Fair Trade and the global moral order

[Muhammad Mukhtar Alam]

Dear Ian,
   
  I would like to support the idea of sustainable income as that is what I have been considering as part of ecologically sustaianble social futures after we and humanity has passed through the ecologically hostile splurge of petro-modern consumption ,production and investment patterns..
   
  It is only the ecologically sustaianble income that can be guarunteed in the future after we have finished all the non-renwable resources through globalising the skyscrappers and associated urban spaces..
   
  We can implement that through global adoption of monotheistic  framework with previliging the culture of prayer than the cluture of leisure..
   
  Prices are not real..as ecological costs are not counted. Please refer www.sustainwellbeing.net 
   
  With warm regards 
   
  Dr.Muhammad Mukhtar Alam

    Arthur and all,
   
  In our last meeting we considered the idea of a sustainable income, but concluded that this was a very difficult idea to pull together.

  Thomas Aquinas introduced the notion of 'just price' - a term that was updated in 1922 by Rudolf Steiner when he described his 'true price' theorem. 
Prices have been described as the cardinal question of economic life - fair trade surely raises the question of how one arrives at prices: by the 
market, as most people now believe, or by some other means, but then which? Without introducing the state, or any price-fixing arrangement the matter 
of pricing surely comes down to those directly concerned and whether they perceive their own interests only, that of their trading partners also, or 
the whole of the economy as effected by every transaction. Beware those who favour a static price concept over a dynamic one!
