Break free from a wealth-obsessed world
Western society is trapped by three assumptions: 1) the point of life
is to maximize your self-interest and wealth, 2) we're individuals
trapped in an adversarial world, and 3) that this path is inevitable.
These ideas separate us, keep us powerless, and limit our imagination
for the future. We see them as the truth, but they are just a point of
view that previous generations accepted as inevitable. It's time we
replace them with something new.
In this bold, powerful book, Yancey Strickler – co-founder of
Kickstarter – lays out an inspiring vision for a new world we have the
power to create and how we can change course. While the pursuit of
wealth has produced innovation and prosperity, it's also produced dire
consequences: environmental collapse, corruption, exploitation, and
unhappiness around the world. We don't have to get rid of money
entirely, though: we can co-opt the tools we have used toward better
measurement of what matters, technology, and specificity of goals--and
refocus them to build a more generous, fair, and future-prepared
society. By re-calibrating our definition of value, a world of scarcity
can blossom into a world of abundance.
Hopeful but firmly grounded, full of concrete examples and bursting
with creativity, This Could Be Our Future brilliantly dissects the
world we live in and shows us a road map to the world we are capable of
making.
