The chain of influential economists must now read something like: Hume, Smith, Marx, Kaynes, Hayek, Friedman and next Charles Eisenstein.

For an alternative view, look up Francisco D'Anconia on The Root of Evil or money speech.

It is not money that is the problem. It is the bad choices that people make regarding money that is the problem.

Money is just a vehicle. But it can not replace you as the driver.

True money, gold and silver-based money, are voluntary and honest.

We give to those we love. But there will always be many others whom we do not love, and whom we want to deal with "at arms length." Money is useful here.

This discussion really hit the the nail on the head for what we need to change and how to go about it. I feel this is an articulate foundation for a way forward with our species, thank you so much for putting so many critical issues into one accessible package.

@1519kyle I feel the "gift economy" would work really well and should be our end goal, but as he said he takes a shift on consciousness. Transitioning to that point will likely require several approaches to tweak the current system such as ecological economics and other resource-based strategies

[fckuvrymch]

Great talk and ideas Charles! When he talks about pollution taxes at 16:18 it reminds me of at story I one heard. A european company building excavators was incorporated into a large multimanufacturer of excavators. The engineers went to their new head office and were presented with machines that were maid there. They were surprised to se a lot of "peasant-engineering" with heavy stuff and uncomfortable driver seats etc. Why? Low taxes on fuel and no laws on driver's working environment...
