The Right Relationship Roadshow

It’s an interesting read – even I found it interesting and I’d heard most of it already. Head over there and check it out! The [...]

Shameless plug ahoy!
Very quick post today to announce that Right Relationship: Building a Whole Earth Economy is going into a second printing. Needless to say, we’re very happy about this.
