of the game for the economy, for the monetary system, for the international trade regime, for the energy, health or education system. What our society needs today are more “dreamers” and visionaries that listen deeply and draft these game changers. And we need to take common action to strengthen the present democracies towards “sovereign democracies” so that the fundamental decisions can be taken by the citizens themselves. Our hearts already know of these better places of flourishing society on a healthy planet. It’s just that our minds store a thousand and one excuses as to why it doesn’t make sense to tackle them. If we talked a bit more with deeply connected hearts we would become courageous enough to tackle the “big issues”. So, if you wonder how to build an economy for the common good, money as a public good or a “sovereign” democracy: Listen to your heart – and read this book.
