reimagining capitalism
This book offers a new vision of wealth, based on the indigenous wisdom of reciprocity, the truth that we are all interconnected and interdependent, and the belief that "money can be a form of medicine"
A guidebook for reimagining our way forward into a new way of being, that is grounded in and aligned with Nature's wisdom. “The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.”
Capitalism is not just an economic system; it has also dictated our social lives and how we build relationships & community. This book deconstructs 'American Dream-ism,' hyper-individualism, and transactional relationships, and offers a broader way to construct social relationships based on reciprocity, generosity, and creativity.
Written by financial coach/educator Kara Perez. Rejects overconsumption and investing that destroys the earth and redefines personal finance through the lens of environmental sustainability and community
Written by Indigenous scientist and author Robin Wall Kimmerer, this book offers an alternative to capitalism - a way to envision our economic systems, based upon themes of gratitude, reciprocity, and community/interconnectedness found in the natural world.
