Yes, it’s been quite awhile. I thought it better to do a deeper dive on the issues addressed in this blog and to publish the findings in book form. Full-length books, just in time for that period in history when people won’t read anything longer than a tweet! Oh well.

The plan is for a series of three books, the first of which is now available as a free downloadable PDF at the link. Books 2 and 3 are works in progress. A quick summary of the series:

Book 1: The Debt Standard: How our money system plagues our world

A diagnosis of our money system: Precisely how it is designed, from the ground up, to guarantee that it is a system of struggle for the vast majority of people on the planet, ensuring that we have:

• accelerating income inequality;
• widespread debt slavery for so many people, businesses, and almost all governments;
• perpetual price inflation;
• perpetual financial crises;
• people running ever faster yet feeling they don’t have enough time, especially for what is most important to them;
• domination by Big–Big banks, Big corporations, Big political parties, Big government agencies;
• addiction to financialized economic “growth” no matter what the consequences for people and nature;
• perpetual conflict among people and nations;
• and so forth.

In other words, it’s a comedy! (OK, it’s not a comedy, but it seemed that at least a little levity was called for after that list.)

Book 2: Value the Valuable!

Solutions: How we start turning the economic ship so it helps the many, not just the few.

Book 3: Vanquishing Financial Problems Once and for All

A treatment of these topics from the energetic / meditative / spiritual / psychological point of view.

This is likely the first of the final three posts on this blog. There will be a post here when each of the three books is released.

There’s no catch. As on Thundering Heard, the book The Debt Standard: How our money system plagues our world is free. We don’t do any tracking of individual visitors. You don’t even have to supply an email address to download the book. Though you can leave your email address at the Contact page at the new web site Debt-Standard.com if you want to submit any comments or questions about the book, or to receive occasional email updates.

Thank you very much. I am grateful for your time and attention!
