Review Quotes

Money makes the world go round, and yet remains a mystifying topic for most. Fortunately, Adrian Kuzminski's new and authoritative book clears up our cultural confusion about money and explains how our economic and ecological lives are deeply intertwined. Read this book-our planet's future may depend on it.

We've got three intertwined problems of increasing wealth inequality, a stagnant labor market, and fraying ecological fabric. If we're going to get a handle on them, we need to rethink how our credit system works. Kuzminski provides a provocative history of how we got the system we have, and an interesting look at an alternative we might consider.
