The world's first non-crypto, non-currency supporting organic farmers and local food.
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.
What will a full-fledged nurture capital sector look like a generation or two from now? What role do local food systems and small organic farms have in reshaping society? And who was Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen, anyway?
Stirring us to local grassroots engagement in food and finance, AHA! is inspirational, poetic, and powerful. A must-read for anybody serious about regeneration.
