Sacred Economics: A Post Money World?

Author and lecturer Charles Eisenstein speaks to "Earth Focus" about his new book "Sacred Economics: Money, Gift, and Society in the Age of Transition."

He traces the history of money from ancient gift economies to modern capitalism, revealing how the money system contributed to alienation, competition, and scarcity, ultimately destroying community and necessitating endless growth. These trends have reached an extreme, but in wake of their collapse, we may find great opportunities to transition to a more connected, ecological, and sustainable way of being.
