In this video segment Riane Eisler explores why we need to value the stereotypically "softer" aspects of life, such as care-giving in an economic context. In her book "The Real Wealth of Nations" she provides detailed surveys, which she mentions in this video, about the bottom line value to stockholders when corporations provide child care. She also sites a 2006 CIA sponsored survey in which the US ranked 42nd worldwide in infant mortality and what other nations are doing to improve the value they place on care-giving. She discusses worldwide trends, financial impact and what we must do to move forward as conscious individuals.
