AHA!
Fake Trillions, Real Billions, Beetcoin and the Great American Do-Over
by Woody Tasch
We’re headed for the greatest, noblest, messiest, most meaningful AHA! of all time. To get there, we need to navigate anew our relationship with money, financial markets and the limits of economic growth. Which would be scary, if it weren’t for all the beauty and community we can find on a parallel path.

Vision
“We got here—to dangerous levels of wealth inequality, virulent distrust, healthcare dysfunction and climate challenges—by way of the deadly seriousness of economics and industry, capital and commerce, technological innovation and financial wizardry. Perhaps a little less left brain and a little more right brain and a lot more heart are called for.” —From AHA!
