HAPPYTALISM: A new system for a world of happiness
Capitalism focuses on financial capital, with humans used as tools to increase production, consumption, and corporate profits. Nature too is employed as a means to sustain capitalism's economic growth. In this way, humans and nature are reduced to mere means to an end of accumulating financial capital, leading us to lose the integrity of nature and the dignity of human life. As a result, humans are not happy, and nature is not safeguarded.
This book is a significant contribution to the evolution of this new consciousness, a new paradigm, and a new story.
I hope many will read this book and that the capitalist system will be replaced by the new philosophy of happytalism.
Authors Luis Gallardo and Javier García Campayo have rendered a great service to the world by advocating for a shift from capitalism to "happytalism". Production, consumption, and economic growth should not be the means to an end; the goal should be the happiness of individuals and the well-being of planet Earth.
