Instead of wealth generation being the primary guiding principle any of economic and innovation activity, it should be promoting ecological balance and global harmony. Science, arts and policy should be directed at making every village/locality self sufficient in basic necessity for healthy survival and this should become integral part of every local culture. We should encourage work to harness the knowledge and wisdom of various ancient civilization and cultivate it and adapt it to the modern times. Promoting need for healthy living and not greed should be the driving force of life activity not wealth generation. The challenge is how do you introduce the new paradigm of incentives which is based on altruistic living, internal peace and global harmony. - The new world order.
