Sacred Economics: Money, Gift, and Society in the Age of Transition - Charles Eisenstein Audiobook
Shared by:daenigma100
Sacred Economics traces the history of money from ancient gift economies to modern capitalism, revealing how the money system has contributed to alienation, competition, and scarcity, destroyed community, and necessitated endless growth. Today, these trends have reached their extreme—but in the wake of their collapse, we may find great opportunity to transition to a more connected, ecological, and sustainable way of being.
This book is about how the money system will have to change—and is already changing—to embody this transition. A broadly integrated synthesis of theory, policy, and practice, Sacred Economics explores avant-garde concepts of the New Economics, including negative-interest currencies, local currencies, resource-based economics, gift economies, and the restoration of the commons. Author Charles Eisenstein also considers the personal dimensions of this transition, speaking to those concerned with “right livelihood” and how to live according to their ideals in a world seemingly ruled by money. Tapping into a rich lineage of conventional and unconventional economic thought, Sacred Economics presents a vision that is original yet commonsense, radical yet gentle, and increasingly relevant as the crises of our civilization deepen.

I have not listened to this book so my comment may be premature. Nevertheless, “money” is not mysterious, “sacred,” or evil. It is a rational, natural physical construct created by man to more efficiently facilitate the exchange of scarce goods and services. During WWII, for example, cigarettes were used as a medium of exchange (i.e. “money”) in prison camps, etc. “Scarcity” of resources is why “Economics” exists. Again, money does not create or contribute to scarcity, it merely assists in allocation. The author may need to repeat Economics 101.

@oldbooklover Yeah I don’t think this book is worth reading, I couldn’t get past the introduction without suspecting the author of woo. Checked online reviews and anyone with a new-age bent loves it, and anyone with a skeptical or economically literate disposition sees straight through it. Author even challenges the 2nd law of thermodynamics… so… yeah

@oldbooklover Your example is a typical market-fundamentalist approach, using a closed system without production and thus no investment, labor relations, etc. (i.e. goods came in from outside the prison). It actually still helps illustrate the mysteriousness of money, especially its volatility based on social expectations (external shocks from outside the prison changed the value of cigarette-money), which indeed has significant consequences relating to scarcity (decisions in investment/employment/wages/consumption/rent-seeking etc.).
