Sacred Economics traces the history of money from ancient
gift economies to modern capitalism, revealing how the money system has
contributed to alienation, competition, and scarcity, destroyed
community, and necessitated endless growth.

Today, these trends have reached their 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.

Ian McKenzie: Almost exactly 7 years ago, I had just
completed reading Charles Eisenstein’s new book ‘Sacred Economics,’
where he outlines the principles and practices of an economic system
that is based on the story of Interdependence rather than the current
story of Separation.

He covers topics like: negative interest currency, universal basic income, and the internalization of costs – complex things that while necessary to put a system into action, might cause the lay person glaze over.

Beyond the information, there is something else I recognized in
Charles’ words that I believe is one of the reasons so many have been
drawn to his work.

In a time when most modern people harbour a secret self-loathing at
the seemingly endless destruction and hubris of their fellow humans, Charles embodies the frequency that “maybe we are not a mistake.”

Maybe humans are more than an biological accident.Maybe, as the collective crises deepens, we are on the cusp of our initiation into planetary adulthood.Maybe humans actually have a noble place in cosmos, not as the Lords of nature but as her Lover.

For this mysterious reason, after completing his book I reached out
to Charles and asked if I could come shoot a short film. He agreed, and
soon after, I joined him at his family home in Pennsylvania, staying
for a week to record an interview, eventually ending up on Wall Street
in the midst of the #Occupy movement.

The resulting film Sacred Economics (2012), has now been seen almost a
million times. I have received countless comments of gratitude for how
the film has fundamentally altered the trajectory of their lives.

And for some inexplicable reason, perhaps as mysterious as the first
time I felt the call, I decided to craft a remix – not to replace the
original, but to experiment with a richer soundscape and updated visuals
that bring the necessity of the message into present day.

This new short Sacred Economics (2019) is offered once again as a
gift to the global community, with gratitude from my Patreon supporters.
