The author, Greg Twemlow, argues that we must redefine prosperity beyond the traditional metrics of capitalism and GDP growth. He criticizes these paradigms for promoting a narrow view of success that prioritizes economic expansion at the expense of social equity, well-being, and the environment. Instead, he proposes a new vision of "Prosperity Tuned to Earth’s Rhythm©," emphasizing metrics like ecological balance, social equity, and collective well-being. Twemlow outlines his proposed Earth-Aligned Prosperity Index©, which measures progress based on how well societies preserve and regenerate natural systems while fostering justice and sustainable communities. He suggests that this shift from GDP to an Earth-Aligned Prosperity Index© represents a fundamental change in our understanding of true prosperity, one that respects people and the planet as integral to a flourishing future.
