New perspectives on money

The May/June issue of Resurgence has arrived and it looks very interesting.

Its a special focus issue titled “The money delusion: In search of true wealth”. It kicks off with an excellent editorial from Satish Kumar which introduces the topic.

Here are a few quotes to give you a flavour of the article:

“Let us be clear. Money is not wealth. It is a delusion to think that money is wealth. True wealth is good land, healthy animals, flourishing forests, clean water, honest work, abundant creativity and human imagination”

and

“For example, there is never a shortage of money for wars and weapons, but it is always in short supply for arts and education”

Its worth a read and can be found here
