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.
Today, these trends have reached their extreme – but in the wake of their collapse, we may find great opportunity to transition to a more connected, ecological, and sustainable way of being.

Thank you for sharing these insights on sacred economics. Eisenstein’s ideas on creating a more connected and compassionate economy are truly inspiring!
Since reading Charles Eisenstein’s work, I’ve tried to apply some of his ideas in my own life, like focusing more on local exchanges and reducing waste. It’s small, but it feels meaningful.
