Our current economic crisis is alsó a crisis of ethics and values which has led to the enrichment of a few and the disempowerment of many.

WENDY LUHABE Chancellor, University of Johannesburg Chair, Industrial Development Corporation of South Africa Ihe Blue Economy shows us that by securing materials and aligning production schemes as nature does, many problems of environmental degradation and pollution would disappear. However, economic policy and core business models largely ignore integrated solutions. Future economic models would do well to take into account the strategic advantage of a portfolio of innovations based on nature and physics. That will be a tall order, but Gunter Pauli 's book, with its rich presentation of how nature and economy can and must collaborate, convincingly shows the way. ANDERS WIJKMAN Member, Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences European Parliament (1999-2009) The Blue Economy takes readers beyond the obvious and aims to wake up the entrepreneur in all of us. The innovations it explores are founded in solid science and demonstrated by multiple platforms. Committed grass roots entrepreneurs worldwide can realize triple cash flow using open-source innovations that create competitive business models. This book will encourage thousands and perhaps millions of us to apply a Blue Economy business model that will shift us from scarcity to abundance. Vissza
