The School for Gods

Mr. D’Anna, who founded the European School of Economics, is the author of “The School for Gods.” Here’s an excerpt:

“I've dreamt of a school that teaches a new generation of leaders to harmonise the usual apparent antagonisms: economics and ethics, actions and contemplation, financial power and love.

“You will find a School of Being, a University for whoever has a dream to realise ... where it will be taught that the ‘Dream is the most real thing that there is’ ... that what man calls reality is nothing more than the reflection of his dream. You will create a School of responsibility, a School for philosophers of action where it will be taught that happiness is economy ... that wealth, well-being and beauty are every man’s birthright. You will create a School without end ... a School for Gods ... It will have My pace and My range ... You must not fear criticism. There will seem to be obstacles of every sort, but every difficulty or enemy will turn out to be your greatest ally, an integral and irreplaceable part of this endeavour.”
