Economics evolve too. Let us first explore PhilanthroCapitalism. It is a new approach to solving social problems based on innovative partnerships between business, nonprofits and government. A group of wealthy entrepreneurs and business leaders is taking the initiative in creating these new solutions and proving businesses can ‘do well by doing good.’ Therein lies the rub.
Any venture that “does well by doing good” is a Not Just For Profit (NJFP). As we all evolve I predict we’ll see a lot more Not Just For Profit businesses and Philanthrocapitalism. Why?
Because “For Profit” businesses represent a lower evolutionary vibration. They only expand one thing, Money Profits. As we know, this single focus creates a lot of problems (greed, fear, war, suffering, etc).
Not For Profits and charities are a step up because they seek to expand things beyond money. For the sake of simplicity, let’s call them People Profits and Planet Profits. Without Money Profits, however, this also creates its share of problems – one of them being sustainability.
The best of the three classes is the Not Just For Profit. It seeks to expand all three: People Profits, Planet Profits and Money Profits. It’s sustainable and expands higher emotional and mental states like compassion, love, trust, joy and peace.
I believe the best way to be a conscious consumer is to buy from companies that practice conscious capitalism. I believe the best way to increase your evolution when you’re “on the job” is to work for conscious capitalism companies.
Technology is going to replace a lot of things. One day technology will automate all of the things we don’t like to do. There will no need for dreary, everyday businesses. The goal is we continue to evolve our Consciousness as we advance our technology. Then, all of us will be able to pursue higher evolutionary principles, passions and pursuits.
I predict it won’t be long until our present “Fossil Fuel Consciousness” dissolves. Whether we start using free energy or ETs bring us a technology treat, the monetary system as we know it is crumbling. Imagine a day when technology allows everyone to have free, easy and unlimited access to everything they need.
Here’s a simple diagram that represents how the consciousness of business is evolving.

As a former business coach who experienced Near Death after spending 14 months in a dark room, my biggest challenge was to accept and evolve from a Human Doing to a Human Being.
We have all the potential in us and yet we deny our essence. Miracles happen when we apply the law of least effort. Everything you do with love, won’t cost you energy and it makes everyone happy.
Please explain a bit more in detail your diagram. What are examples of current and future situations? What is needed to speed up this evolution? …
All the best,

Hi Marlene,
The idea is to shift the “intention” of business from greed, fear and competition (past/present) to cooperation, integrity and responsibility (present/future). These “higher vibrational states” bring us into Unity Consciousness and out of Greed Consciousness.
The diagram is intended to show how our businesses and economic system are a reflection of society’s level of evolution. As we personally evolve we will no longer need things like greed, fear and competition because there is enough for everyone. As you said, everything done with Love doesn’t cost us anything. Thus, those businesses and systems that operate in greed, fear and competition will go bye-bye as we evolve.
For example, through technology (like geo-thermal energy) there is enough energy for everyone to have energy. It is Greed Consciousness and a For-Profit lust that keeps us locked into absurd things like oil. That’s why I advocate Conscious Capitalism. Here are 10 examples.

One thing that is needed to speed up this evolution is to end all “slavery systems.” One of the biggest slavery systems is how our economic system uses “debt.” Being “in debt” has become a form of modern day slavery that inhibits our ability and desire to work on our personal evolution. It’s hard to care about things like love and compassion when you are stressed out to make enough money just to stay out of foreclosure.
So, what is needed is to end all slavery systems? I see us moving into a resource based economy and global community where there is no need to control people, governments and businesses. I’m calling this new, resourced based system and vision Lovonomics. I think it’s totally doable in the next 25-50 years. As in all things evolution, little by little
i just want to say keep up the good work. im currently writting my dissertation on these topics and am slightly in fear of serious ridicule. its good to see im not the only one riding this train!
keep it up
Hi Chris,
It’s not a train.
As far a I’m concerned the evidence is clear. Everything is headed in this direction. That or we’ll have WWIII if greed capitalism and the military industrialism complex continue. I prefer to think evolution is headed in the right direction.
What are you writing your dissertation about?
Check out this Harvard Business Review article by Michael Porter (Harvard professor) and Mark Kramer. I bet it’s useful for your dissertation.
