  • Open Heart - Open Mind

    by Richard David Hames ...
    Those men and women inhabiting the corridors of corporate and government power and who practise obsolete forms of leadership are bluffing. They cannot resolve the most critical issues of our time. If they could, they would have done so by now. This book is based on the premise that an organization's ongoing success will be shaped by people exhibiting a very different suite of leadership ... Read more

  • The Tuning of the World: Stepping Into Ecority

    by Richard David Hames ...
    The Tuning of the World is a work of civilisational diagnosis and design. It argues that the cascading crises of our age — ecological collapse, institutional failure, and the erosion of meaning and security — are not separate emergencies but symptoms of a single, ageing operating system: a five-hundred-year-old story that treats the Earth as raw material and sovereignty as the highest political ...

  • The Civilisation That Forgot How To Think

    by Richard David Hames ...
    The Civilisation That Forgot How to Think is a work of philosophical anatomy. Its argument is deceptively simple: the most consequential crisis facing humanity is not climate change, governance failure, or technological disruption — it's the progressive erosion of the cognitive and moral capacities required to respond to any of them adequately. The book does not add to the long shelf of crisis ... Read more

  • Planetary Intelligence: The Ecological Wisdom Within Ecority

    by Richard David Hames ...
    Something is wrong with the way human civilisation thinks. Not with its intelligence — the species that managed a continent for sixty thousand years through cultural burning, that navigated three million square miles of open ocean without instruments possesses cognitive capacities of extraordinary depth and range. What is wrong is the conditions under which those capacities are currently operating ... Read more

  • The Ecority Covenant

    by Richard David Hames ...
    According to philosopher and futurist Richard David Hames, we don't need better policies or improved institutions. We need a leap of consciousness into an entirely new global society.In this founding charter of The Ecority Trust, Hames argues that industrial economism—built on separation, extraction, infinite growth, and mechanism—is not a failing system but a dying one. Its collapse is already ... Read more

  • The Empire that Devoured Itself

    by Richard David Hames ...
    Empires end. What's less understood is how empires end from within—by systematically consuming the conditions that made them powerful, not through conquest or collapse. The Empire That Devoured Itself traces this process with forensic precision, following the cascade of American imperial self-destruction from the theology of chosenness that made it inevitable, through the war economy that ...

  • The End Of The Opposition

    by Richard David Hames ...
    Switch on the parliament during a sitting evening and watch for an hour. What you are watching is a combat — choreographed, rehearsed, performed for the cameras — and somewhere inside it, almost invisible, the actual business of running a country. We have worn one word, politics, over two different activities for so long that we no longer notice they have come apart: the contest for power, and the ... Read more

  • ECORITY: The Economics of Enough

    by Richard David Hames ...
    A rice farm in north-east Thailand keeps its water through the dry season. A small company in Wales builds hydrogen cars and gives the living world one of six voices in its decisions. Between them lies the question this book sets out to answer: what would an economy look like if it knew when it had enough?For two centuries the world has run on a single operating rule — more is always better. ...

  • The Invisible Hijacking: The Capture of Everything that was Meant to Save Us

    by Richard David Hames ...
    For well over fifty years, we've gathered at summits, signed accords, and launched initiatives—yet the crises keep deepening. Not because we lack good ideas, but because our world-system doesn't simply resist change; it absorbs it. That's the hijacking syndrome: genuinely transformative ideas are stripped of their disruptive core, repackaged in the language of industrial economism, and sold back ... Read more

  • THE GRAVITY OF GHOSTS: A Primer for those who Govern, Advise, and Organise

    by Richard David Hames ...
    THE GRAVITY OF GHOSTS: A Primer for People Who Govern, Advise, and OrganiseThe crises converging on us now—ecological breakdown, democratic erosion, and the fracturing of shared reality—are not failures of policy, technology, or political will. They are the consequences of a worldview: a set of assumptions about what is real, what matters, who counts, and what time is for that has become so ... Read more

  • The Certainty Instinct: Absolute Belief, Political Power, and the Fate of Homo Sapiens

    by Richard David Hames ...
    The wars being fought across the Middle East, the tensions in the Taiwan Strait, the conflict in Ukraine, the erosion of democratic institutions across the world's largest democracies — these are not separate crises. They are expressions of a single structural feature of the current human situation, for which our analytical frameworks have not yet found adequate language.The certainty instinct — ... Read more
