The moneyless society solution to human problems is one that has long been in the air but in a fragmented, uncoordinated way, with those proposing it coming from many different positions, movements, and countries. What Matthew Holten does is to successfully and convincingly bring together in a single volume all the arguments for getting rid of the disastrously inefficient and life-destroying system we live under and replacing it with the efficient and life-affirming one that a world without money and profit would be. A truly grand narrative. HOWARD MOSS, WORLD SOCIALIST MOVEMENT Why do we keep fighting symptoms instead of addressing the root causes of our global challenges? What new and sustainable systems are emerging? What are the relationships between interdependent fields, and how do different systems interact? Matthew Holten begins Moneyless Society with a pessimistic view of our current degenerative socioeconomic systems. However, he follows through with a huge dose of optimism for implementing adaptive solutions and taking action that will eventually lead to a better, regenerative, and inclusive world for all. ROBERT SCHRAM, TRANSITION ENGINEER, AUTHOR, DOCUMENTARY FILM PRODUCER, AND ACTIVIST FOR HUMANITY'S PHASE SHIFT

ROBERT SCHRAM, TRANSITION ENGINEER, AUTHOR, DOCUMENTARY FILM PRODUCER, AND ACTIVIST FOR HUMANITY'S PHASE SHIFT ""Matthew Holten begins with a touching personal story about money's damaging impact, and then moves upstream to a systemic analysis of the ecological and social challenges we face. From there, he advances to the inspiring solutions and practical action steps we can take to bring about change. This book has both depth and breadth; it is both complex and direct, and it caters to the idealistic as well as the pragmatic. Moneyless Society: The Next Economic Evolution is the relevant meditation on economics we need today."" DELLA Z. DUNCAN, HOST OF THE UPSTREAM PODCAST"
