LECTURE: Sacred Economics: Money, Gift & Society in the Age of Transition
Wednesday, April 17, 7:30 pm
Social Work auditorium, 395 South, 1500 East
University of Utah
Why does it so often seem that money is the enemy of social justice and environmental sustainability? Is it that we must fight a perpetual war against greed? This talk offers another explanation: the problem is in the design of the money system itself, which embodies a relationship to Earth and a way of being human that is becoming obsolete today. The present economic crisis (which we all know isn't going away) is a birth crisis, propelling us into a very different kind society.
