Could GREED Save the World???

from People-Powered Planet Podcast Hosted by Arthur Kanegis

Meet Hawah Kasat -- who gave a startling TEDx talk on How Greed Could Save the World. What??? Isn’t greed what’s destroying the world? In a world that is crumbling between our fingers, is it possible that traditional non-profits are actually distracting us from solving the underlying problems that make them needed in the first place? Hawah invites us to reflect more deeply on whether we are spending our time and energy effectively. What if we fundamentally rethink what nonprofits and businesses look like? What if we start with the premise that helping a few struggling people when millions are suffering is not good enough? What if we get more greedy and stop being content with anything less than lasting, systems-level change? ​ Hawah has dedicated his life to teaching about solutions to violence and ways to peace. ​ He is Founder of “One Common Unity,” a non-profit that inspires a culture of non-violence through music, arts, and education. Author of 4 books, he produced 4 documentary films (including the acclaimed “Fly By Light”), 2 musical CDs, and is the creator/editor of “The Poetry of Yoga” book anthology featuring Grammy award-winning musicians and master yoga teachers. In 2019, Hawah was the recipient of Georgetown University’s “Legacy of a Dream” award honoring an inspirational emerging leader whose work embodies the values and spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. ​ Hawah also interviewed David Gallup of the World Citizen Government on his podcast The Everlutionary Podcast! ​ hawahkasat.com See the video and ask questions of future guests at:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠theworldismycountry.com/club⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Music by: „World Citizen“ Jahcoustix feat.
