From the back cover:
NEW CURRENCY is a pioneering study of money's untapped power to change
the world. In the midst of a devastating global financial crisis, out
of control government spending and grave problems such as terrorism,
energy security and climate change, people all over the planet are
waking up to the need for profound shifts in the way we think about and
respond to these challenges.
This book provides a powerful, fresh context for effectively
confronting our global crisis head on. MacLeod demonstrates how a new
currency can be integrated into the heart of our financial system to
build a more creative, sustainable and inclusive version of capitalism.
"By changing how we hold money," says MacLeod, "we literally hold in
our hands the power to change the world."
In this groundbreaking work, you will be introduced to an evolutionary
perspective of money that accounts for its deep, subjective nature.
MacLeod shows how an understanding of these dynamics can help us
increasingly place economic activity in the service of qualitative
growth and human development. He lays out a grounded vision, based on
new economic tools, for redesigning the global economy to satisfy not
only material needs but also align individuals and societies with their
yearning to actualize their deepest values and purpose in the world.
From the Foreword
“This kind of deep analysis has been missing from the many books and
learned papers seeking to re-design money and the often-perverse
effects of current money systems. This vital analysis helps us to
examine how all humans have designed and used money throughout history.
Using psychological and systems analyses from many sources, MacLeod
shows how money is a reflection of human states of consciousness—from
the purely materialistic to the transcendent.”
