The Invisible Player: Consciousness as the Soul of Economic, Social, and Political Life

"Mario Kamenetzky is extraordinary. This remarkable book reads like a novel while acting as a learning experience, a life experience."
Frederick Franck, Ph.D., author of The Zen of Seeing

"Profound and important."
Hazel Henderson, author of Paradigms in Progress and Building a Win-Win World

"A singularly important book . . . it shows in very practical ways how consciousness is the pivot of our social, political, and economic life."
Georg Feuerstein, Ph.D., author of Structures of Consciousness and Lucid Waking

"Connecting the evolution of consciousness to economic and social development is new terrain, and therefore bound to be controversial. The bulk of economic theory simply has ignored the consciousness dimension altogether, not to speak of its evolution over time. The grounding of Mario Kamenetzky's views are solid on both sides of the bridge he is trying to build. . . . [The Invisible Player] provides a substantial first step in raising questions to which economic and social theory has been blind until now."
Bernard Lietaer, author of The Future of Money, co-designer of the European single currency system and Research Fellow, Center for Sustainable Resources, UC-Berkeley

"This book should be required reading for policymakers at the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. Protesters of those institutional policies would also benefit from exposure to this heartfelt manuscript written by somebody "on the inside." Kamenetzky has the soul of a poet and the analytical skills of a scientist."
