I am a 'systems thinker'...always looking to see the interconnected parts of a system to see the 'whole'. whether it is personal, economic, financial, ecological, food--starting first with the whole in mind..then changes in small areas have context to how it impacts and changes the whole. As our current systems are now in major flux, I am working with many to explore how we can build healthier, whole systems that provide better outcomes for people and the planet.

Thomas Friedman: Tell Lydia she can grow up in a Triple Bottom Line world with full spectrum employment. Thomas Friedman's recent editorial supports the shift to a Triple Bottom Line economy---which could lead us to full spectrum employment.

We'll have a great economy if we would all just get sick" Health care is the growth sector of our economy--yet it requires a lot of sick people to make that happen. In the long run, this truly does not set the US up to build a thriving country. What could? Let's shift our focus on a new employment sector designed to help us thrive: The rise of the household enterprise business.

Friedman unknowingly discovers why a Full Spectrum Economy makes sense and is the wave of the future. Thomas Friedman, NY Times columnist, writes about the problems in Afghanistan--and shows that the solutions start with caring for children. This is the argument the Full Spectrum Economy makes for why we need to add the "household sector" as a measured and monetized work sector in the FSE

Triple Bottom Line = Full Spectrum Economy The triple bottom line--people, planets and profits makes sense for building a sustainable economy. But the way we currently measure our economy will need to change to make it possible. A Full Spectrum Economy does just that!

Partisan Politics is so passé in a Full Spectrum Economy... Partisan politics reflects the economic model of government vs. markets. This economic system is no longer viable. It is time to build a Full Spectrum economy and in doing so, politicians can shift their attention to building systems that work instead of fighting over a system that has had its day and is now over.

Working in a post-consumer Full Spectrum Economy can be an entrepreneurs' dream Returning to the consumer economy of the last 50 years is no long feasible. Its time to expand our vision of the economy to a Full Spectrum Economy--a 6 sector economy that enables us to measure and monetize all the valuable work necessary to sustain our lives. Doing so will put millions to work and lead us into the next economy--designed to care for humans and the planet in ways that work for us all.

Full Spectrum Economy: Building an economy that counts A Full spectrum economy is a 6 sector economy: markets, government, illegal, household, unpaid volunteer and natural sectors. It enables us to move beyond "unlimited growth and consumption/money" and build an economy around what really counts: caring for humans and the planet.

Job creation solved-and it's been right in front of us all along! We've overlooked the greatest source of 'new jobs' available to stimulate the economy--the household. It could add 17 million new jobs and 656 billion to the economy.
