The NoVo Foundation will match every gift to the Center for Partnership Studies 100% to support the Caring Economics Campaign.
Drawing fromRiane Eisler’s The Real Wealth of Nations: Creating a Caring Economics, hailed by Archbishop Desmond Tutu as “a template for the better world we have been so urgently seeking,” the Center for Partnership Studies’ (CPS) goal is to put caring economics at the top of the United States’ agenda by 2012 in order to provide jobs and move into the knowledge/service era, where human capacity development is the key to personal and economic success.
The Caring Economics Campaign trains grassroots activists to work with their networks, families, and organizations. It also works on the policy level, seeking positive impacts on the lives of women and children – the majority of the US population.
A few days ago, New York Governor-elect Andrew M. Cuomo said: “Balancing the budget is a priority for me,” but “the flip side of that equation is balancing that budget with the very necessary, important services that the state is providing, the services where you are literally taking care of human beings.”
A major step toward humane, sustainable, and caring policies is the CPS collaboration with the State of the USA (SUSA), which is working with the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) to develop new indicators that go beyond GDP. CPS proposed Social Wealth indicators to be part of the upcoming Key National Indicator System of SUSA, following the recommendations in the CPS-commissioned report this year from the Urban Institute, The State of Society: Measuring Economic Success and Human Well-Being – and are working with SUSA on their development.
