This month we have a very interesting topic for the Common Good Café based on the work of Hazel Henderson. Her economic cake model for measuring the economy brings another dimension to economics.
The meeting will be on Monday, March 10th, at 5:00PM. This will be a remote session using Zoom Meeting, and you must register to join. To register, click the link below:

Discover the fascinating layers of Hazel Henderson’s economic cake model. We’ll take a closer look at the non-monetized half of the economy, often ignored but vital to our existence. Understand the interplay between the Love Economy, mother earth, and the monetized sectors. Learn from Hazel Henderson, a renowned futurist, as she discusses her vision for a new, transformative information age.

Reuniting Care and Economics
Jean Hazel Henderson (née Mustard; 27 March 1933 – 22 May 2022) was a British American futurist and environmental activist. As an autodidact in her twenties, having only a British high-school formal education, in the U.S. she gradually advanced, by virtue of groundbreaking citizen activism, into the roles of university lecturer and chair-holder, as well as that of advisor to corporations and government agencies. She authored several books including Building a Win-Win World, Beyond Globalization, Planetary Citizenship (with Daisaku Ikeda), and Ethical Markets: Growing the Green Economy.[2][3][4][5][1]
