‘accordingly, to create objects with soul, objects for a rich and beautiful world, we must invest them with life, self, and humanity; in other words, we must invest them with something of our selves. no matter what money system we have, if it does not induce or allow this kind of creative process, then we will not be living in a sacred economy.’
(sacred economics: money, gift, and society in the age of transition – chapter 23, north atlantic books, 2011)
