RETHINKING MONEY

How New Currencies Turn Scarcity into Prosperity

By Bernard Lietaer and Jacqui Dunne

Our outdated monetary system, built on bank debt that perpetuates scarcity and greed, is destroying societies around the world, and it is time to rethink our currencies.

By examining the concept of money, from its genetic roots, its role in competitive society and its myths, we work our way into strategies for banking, entrepreneurs and governments, and re-imagine money working with societies, in parallel with our current systems, to provide countless new options and resources that sustain abundance and cooperation.

This is truly a new conceptual system and not the standard “rehash” we see in our current economy, including real-world examples showing positive results from many often diverse areas of commerce.

CONSCIOUS MONEY

Living, Creating, and Investing with Your Values for a Sustainable New Prosperity

By Patricia Aburdene

Most people believe that corporate greed plays a major role in today’s economic troubles and that human values are woefully lacking in business policy and action. The current financial structures are antiquated, but a holistic, values-based economic transformation may open the door to a new era of fulfillment and prosperity. This movement is called Conscious Money.

Drawing on values, creativity and the power of human consciousness, financial choices are guided by ideals that connect with our soul’s innate wisdom. While many people fundamentally believe money values are external from their inner selves, the opposite can be true. Your values can be the great financial asset! Respecting guidelines borne of awareness, from our higher consciousness, can create a humanistic, value-driven approach to free enterprise that honors everyone involved in the process.
