Is Trump an Enufist?
The simple (and only) answer is NO! He doesn't even merit a thought as to whether he fits the profile of an Enufist. As he himself admits, all his life he's been greedy, and it carries on even now as president. One example is the Trump family's crypto interests. A new cryptocurrency issued by their World Liberty Financial that started trading recently has boosted the family's wealth on paper by roughly $5 billion, despite having almost halved in the first two days of being l

BC isn't only Before Christ, it's also Before Capitalism!
How did the world function before capitalism shaped our modern economy? Way before capitalism ruled, human societies organized production and trade through vastly different systems. These early economic models were shaped by power, religion, tradition, and survival. From feudal obligations to barter exchanges, economic life revolved around custom and control rather than competition and profit. To truly understand capitalism, one must first explore what came before it. First,

Capitalism is dead - in its current form!
There are many interesting videos to be found on YouTube, which is hardly surprising given that capitalism, and its end or survival, are hot topics since the super-rich have been getting even richer, and the rest of us, well, poorer off in comparison. I don't for one moment deny that capitalism has brought many advances, in medicine, technology and the like. But it has also brought some terrible stuff, like wiping out of indigenous nations, exploitative colonialism, and (in m

Enufism, religions and Utopia
Enufism is not to be confused with Utopia or religions (although if you want a refresher on the latter, please watch this short video).

No two people are identical in their views and emotions about earth, nature and universe. And why should they? Each person has their own way of appreciating the wonders of this world. So

Transitioning to Enufism
Enufism espouses lower consumerism. Why? Because ever since the Industrial Revolution, when mill owners in England cottoned on to the idea that if their workers were paid more, they would consume more. Unfortunately as the years, and centuries, have passed, this has got way out of control, to a point where the main protagenists of "spend more to be happier" are governments, seeking to be be re-elected. Frankly, it's worked, as you'll hardly ever hear the proverbial "man in th

The enufism debate commences
Here, Jeroen van de Bergh, of the University of Barcelona, reviews various studies of degrowth (warning: it's an hour-long video). Degrowth is somewhat akin to enufism, but there are differences, and we believe our model is workable and will involve far less transition pain than simple degrowth. The biggest challenge to enufism is ourselves, and our natural objections to giving anything up! So how do we get around that, and persuade ourselves to act otherwise? My instinct is
