The Macrobiotic Approach to Economy and the Energy of Money

The true meaning of economy is balancing out what is available to us and what we use in our lives, without wasting any resources. It relates to the harmony, the dynamic balance between the Yin and the Yang. From the moment when economy began to be expressed through money, individually or in groups, Man has fallen into a trap and became eluded that he could control it all. But money is a very strong Yin energy form and Man cannot be so Yang. That is why Man was dragged out by the expansive energy of money and hence, had to globally expand creating structures that supported it. And now everything is out of control and there is no apparent solution. After 33 years of studying the Macrobiotic Philosophy of life, practicing it, reading on it and thinking about the Universal Law, I hereby intend to write my humble opinion on how this illusion is doomed to fail, and what the possible, alternative and only solution is to this problem.
