... while expressing gratitude seems innocent enough, it is a revolutionary idea. In a consumer society, contentment is a radical proposition. Recognizing abundance rather than scarcity undermines an economy that thrives by creating unmet desires. gratitude cultivates an ethic of fullness, but the economy needs emptiness. The Thanksgiving Address reminds you that you already have everything you need. Gratitude doesn't send you out shopping to find satisfaction; it comes as a gift rather than a commodity, subverting the foundation of the whole economy. That is good medicine for land and people alike.

Dette ble litt for tynt, gitt. Du kan si at jeg kanskje burde skjønt det ut fra markedsføringen, men jeg kan godt kose meg med lette, humoristiske romaner med tøffe eldre damer i hovedrollene (de siste dagene har jeg f.eks. latt meg underholde av Anna Grues kosekrim). Men her blir det for enkelt, kort og overfladisk i en ganske heseblesende stil. Det er mye lokalpatriotisme og kjærlighet til Bøler, det er jo koselig da. En ekstra stjerne for det.
... Strawberries belong only to themselves. The exchange relationships we choose determine whether we share them as a common gift or sell them as a private commodity. A great deal rests on that choice. For the greater part of human history, and in places in the world today, common resources were the rule. But some invented a different story, a social construct in which everything is a commodity to be bought and sold. The market economy story has spread like wildfire, with uneven results for human well-being and devastation for the natural world. But it is just a story we have told ourselves and we are free to tell another, to reclaim the old one.
