The following Nine Convictions are developed in the Eden Series trilogy I am writing as part of the One Earth Project.

1. Earth Community is more than human community.
2. The Commons evokes more mature human capacities than do corporate-led markets.
3. Commonwealth is richer than private wealth.
4. Abundance is richer than prosperity.
5. Limits to growth increase innovation and creativity.
6. Economic democracy achieves fair distribution more effectively than corporate-led markets.
7. Local economies generate life for regions without destroying global connections.
8. Wealth is not the same as lots of money.
9. Wellbeing and happiness happen through One Earth living, not Multi Earth economics.
