Ethical Markets

Hazel Henderson is the co-author of Ethical Markets: Growing the Green Economy, the companion book to the national public television series Ethical Markets TV. Hazel Henderson is a world renowned futurist, evolutionary economist, a worldwide syndicated columnist, and has authored eight other books.

She has led an extraordinary life beginning with her role as a self educated "housewife" turned environmentalist, who studied economics to understand the systemic problems facing our world and the faulty assumptions that have been driving it. A video profile of her captures much of her wisdom and energy which have greatly increased the understanding of many of us. Hazel been a real inspiration and source of encouragement for me, personally, and I look forward to speaking with her more. Another recent book- The Power of Yin - Celebrating Female Consciousness captures a conversation that took place over 30 years ago between Hazel, Jean Houston, and Barbara Marx Hubbard which is remarkably relevant, fresh, wise and needed today, if we are going midwife the transformation converging crises demand of all of us.
