Yesterday Susmita Barua left a comment on Ox Herding which led me to her blog: Deep Conscious Capitalism > Mindful System Change; Transforming Self-Society-Economy: Budha Way.
She describes the blog in this way:
Can we as conscious citizens and engaged Buddhists create our collective future mindfully? It is a social engagement Intention experiment to consciously shift the 'Evolutionary Path' of the planet to create an abundant yet sustainable human-scale economy, a global culture of peace, partnership, genuine free market, unlimited potential for conscious living and right livelihood. Be part of a shared dream, collective solution and joyful evolution.
Susmita began the blog in 2007 (why haven't I discovered it before?) and the posts are exactly as promised: deep, provocative examinations of how to live correctly within a capitalist economic system. Please check it out and add the site to your blogroll.
Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone.
- John Maynard Keynes
This is pointing to "resource based economy", not a monetary based economy such as we have now. Learn more: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mkRFCtl2MI&feature=player_embedded

The link led me to http://www.webring.org/hub/buddhistblogs, some sort of homepage deal. Is this correct?

Hi David - I don't know why you got redirected. Odd. When I click on the link I go to the blog itself. Here's the URL, in case you want to copy and paste:
