Summary: Maybe it's not all men's fault
Comment: Flinders continues her loving exploration of how our lives have gotten out of synch with our hearts. She describes the values that evolved in the early days of human community and how, relatively recently in evolutionary time, changes in human economic systems shifted us away from the satisfaction of some of humanity's deepest needs. Ever the compassionate optimist, she suggests ways of moving forward out of this impasse into a way of living where humans can live in peace with their environment and with each other.

Summary: wonderful exploration of where we are
Comment: This is, to me, a wonderful book. Flinders has really done her homework and been around the block. The writing is clear, and the argument unfolds beautifully. (Maybe it's just that I'm wrestling with similar ideas in my own work, so it all seems to work so nicely.)

The basic idea is that the "world's problems" are more than just too much testosterone -- we have (very cool) intrinsic values that evolved over millions of years in the context small nomadic bands, but are now trying to cope with something altogether different. This misfit is what Flinders explores, from a very new and interesting perspective.

Anyway, it's a delightful find, and it's on top of my reading pile.
