That was the year that was…2022 in Review
So 2022, the year of many changes, upheavals, environmental disasters and continuing degradation, and such likes, but also of hopes and dreams most of us have ever known, is drawing to a close, and it’s time to take our annual look back at the year in our Blog Postings.

What is a good and caring society? What is a good business and economy?
What is a good life? What is a good person?
The Time is Now to Lead with Purpose, Humanity, and Humility
‘Balancing purpose and profit to become a force for good.’

As it is Christmas time of the year, the season of love, light and hope, caring, giving and sharing, redemption and forgiveness, then, what better time to reflect thoughtfully on a holiday-themed economics and business lesson: Basic Concepts and Principles on who and why we are, and why we do things and what for. A lesson that I sincerely hope will be taught at every business school and department of economics the world over. Carpe Diem!

Lest we forget: In our pursuit of ‘progress’ we have created the destructive path in the pursuit of plenty
Simon Schama’s History of Now, BBC2: An earnest appeal against political apathy.
‘Simon Schama explores how filmmaker Charlie Chaplin and author Ayn Rand created radically different visions of how the new post-war world should work. Meanwhile, writers like Rachel Carson drew attention to the damage being done to the natural world. Simon talks to author Margaret Atwood about how Carson inspired her own work and photographer Edward Burtynsky about his photographic projects with haunting images that capture the push for consumerism.’

Last night (11 December 2022) I watched a very inspiring, informative and educational documentary presented by historian Simon Schama on BBC2. What I watched was the third episode in the three part series History of Now.
The first episode was on Truth and Democracy. The second was on Equality and the third which is the subject of this posting was on The Price of Plenty.
