About a doctor who says it’s impossible, about following the “right” school path, and about almost starting with no money.
Introduction
Why this book exists, its core message, how it’s structured, and what it may bring you.
Part I
It’s Not Just the Way It Is
Chapter 1. One Person’s Bread
About the quest that begins after admitting I don’t know who I am, Heartworkers and confrontational interviews, a sleepless night and the question: ‘What is it with money, really?’
Chapter 2. This is Not an Economics Class
About the principles we’ve built ‘our’ money on, about a system that doesn’t know when more is enough, and about the supposed positive consequences of economic growth and competition.
Chapter 3. And What Now, Señor?
About a first money hallelujah—and first experiments with different ways of giving, working and living.
