If western-style cultures are over-geared to money making, it's reasonable then to surmise that other potentially key areas could by default get too little attention. Various commentators have in recent times pointed to the 'demise' of community and community spirit for instance, possibly aided and abetted by the seeming 'downgrading' of things 'social' in current and recent past times. Work systems and management styles appear to have changed significantly in favour of high control regimes and away from motivationary leadership styles and adhesion to trust and belief in peoples' capacity for self-motivation and self-responsibility, a trend maybe not best suited for 'freerangers'.

Freerange food for thought------?

Cooler, 'catchy' weather over the last few weeks here in the UK midlands has produced a profusion of flowers but mixed results in the veg patch here on the eco micro-holding, where a measure of frugality suits. Mainline culture, though, seems more tuned into the 'pots of dosh' philosophy, with seemingly a 'greed is good' mantra. Maybe the economists' message, which could have been misunderstood, of peoples' 'profit maximisation' standard behaviour, has then overly influenced the western-style culture, and creating an 'it's all about money' climate.
