The History of Money (Sacred Economics)

() Directed by Ian Mackenzie, produced by Velcrow Ripper, Gregg Hill, Ian MacKenzie. Book: Sacred-Economics.com

Sacred Economics traces the history of money from ancient gift economies [dana] to modern capitalism, revealing how the money system has contributed to alienation, competition, and scarcity. It has destroyed community and necessitated endless growth. Today these trends have reached the 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 in the world. This short contains some visuals from the upcoming feature documentary OccupyLove.org
