Sacred Economics

Book • 2021
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.

The book explores avant-garde concepts of the New Economics, including negative-interest currencies, local currencies, gift economies, and the restoration of the commons.

Eisenstein considers the personal dimensions of this economic transition and presents a vision that is original yet commonsense, radical yet gentle, and increasingly relevant as the crises of our civilization deepen.
