Sharing the Earth: A Proposal for a Tax-Free and Prosperous World

What if you could live in a world where everyone had enough?

Where financial struggle would not exist, and where involuntary unemployment and poverty could become a thing of the past?

A world where our economies are thriving, yet our ecologies are sustained?Sharing the Earth not only shows that such a world is possible, it also shows how it can be accomplished.

This book builds a case for a detailed and comprehensive economic reform of unprecedented scope, and it does so with both sound logic and a passion guaranteed to draw in anyone who has ever dreamed of a brighter future and a better world, for ourselves and future generations.

Deep down, at its core, this work seeks to acknowledge the living web that binds all of us together and connects us deeply into the present moment.

We can perceive material reality either through the eyes of fear or the eyes of love; from the place of love it is easier to see that we each have an indispensable role to play in the circle of life, and that we are each endowed with a dignity that is innate to existence itself.

It is easier to see that we are all connected. If we wish to affirm that oneness, we need to remember that every human being has a right to an equal share in the wealth that flows from the Earth.

Natural resource wealth has to serve all human beings, even in the short run, or otherwise it will serve none of us in the long run.

The primary purpose of this work is to reveal the deeper reasons for war and want, poverty and pollution, and hate and hunger in our world.

In the end, all material conflict arises from a sense of lack - a lack that we artificially manufacture simply by failing to equitably share our natural resources.

As long as the Earth's natural resources are not shared, our world will continue to experience a wide and diverse array of societal illnesses, including, but not limited to, economic injustice, wealth inequality, business recessions, and environmental destruction.

But once we begin to share the Earth's natural resources with one another, we have the opportunity to unleash a cultural, technological, environmental, and spiritual renaissance that will liberate us in ways we cannot yet even imagine!

Once we truly begin to share these resources, we can create a world where everyone can have their basic needs met, where people are given the greatest opportunities for self-expression, and where life is not just an array of setbacks, but a beautiful canvas that allows for the highest unfolding of human potential.
