MONEYLESS SOCIETY: THE NEXT ECONOMIC EVOLUTION
We know humans are depleting natural resources and polluting the environment. There is no real debate about climate change. And with only a handful of people holding as much wealth as the poorest half of the world’s population, inequality is destabilizing many regions.
Humans must change, fast—and yet we hesitate.
Our inaction stems from modern society’s economic foundation, which encourages actions in direct opposition to the planet’s and our own well-being: the monetary system.
Moneyless Society: The Next Economic Evolution explores how capitalism erodes Earth’s capacity to sustain life and undermines our ability to live in peace and prosperity. But it also provides a blueprint for new structures to replace our outmoded monetary system.

Della Z. Duncan, Host of the Upstream PodcastAn Exhilarating Read!
“This book moves from a thunderously powerful critique of the system in which we live to a perfectly explained and thoroughly credible scenario of a different kind of life for the earth’s population, one in which no one need fear poverty, want or futility. The writer dismantles the profit system and constructs in its place an entirely believable world without markets, without buying and selling, without rich and poor in which all lead comfortable lives based on from each according to ability to each according to need. His arguments are beyond compelling – a perfect model of ‘How We Live and How We Could Live’.”

“It’s time for Humanity to wake the fuck up and step into empowerment, and this book is a trigger to do so. A must-read for people who are curious about developing their consciousness on holistic systems and breaking patterns to support paradigm shifts!”
