  Paul Schafer has worked in the cultural field for almost sixty years as an author, educator, administrator, and advisor. He was originally trained as an economist and taught principles of economics, history of economic thought, and international development at Dalhousie University and Acadia University before entering the cultural field.

Included here are such books as: Culture - Beacon of the Future; Revolution or Renaissance: Making the Transition from an Economic Age to a Cultural Age; The Age of Culture; The Secrets of Culture; The Cultural Personality; Will This Be Canada’s Century?; The True North: How Canadian Creativity Changed the World; Culture and Politics in Canada: Towards a Culture for All Canadians; The Arts: Gateway to a Fulfilling Life and Cultural Age, and The World as Culture: Cultivation of the Soul to the Cosmic Whole published in 2022. His latest book is The Great Cultural Awakening: Key to an Equitable, Sustainable, and Harmonious Age published in 2024.
