I look forward to hearing how this soulful inspiration for a radical new economic system is outlined. We’re playing in the same ballpark, and I am struck by the conclusion, to sanctify money! He doesn’t give much away in the introduction.

Now this is a guy I’d like to entangle eyebrows with! Anybody met him?

The Gifting Economy has been known about for centuries. Many ideas concerning utopias often envisage a world where money does not exist. But my project on Transfinancial Economics OFFERS A PRACTICAL WAY BY WHICH THIS COULD BE ULTIMATELY ACHIEVED.

I agree entirely about sustainable communities, and community currencies (etc) but unless most people adoopt these ways then most of it is still just “pie in the sky.” First the financial system must be tackled first before we, as a species reach an advanced “utopian” world such as the Venus project.
