Tom Greco, author of four books including Money: Understanding and Creating Alternatives to Legal Tender, and also The End of Money and the Future of Civilization, shares his vision of the new economy of the future. Greco's talk is titled The Emerging Butterfly Society: How Communities are Building a New World from the Bottom Up.
According to Greco, "The present circumstances demand vision and creative collaboration to come up with viable transition strategies toward a steady-state economy and the 'butterfly society.' The new civilization will be built up out of local communities that will have to be relatively self-sufficient. The existing system cannot be reformed, it can only be transcended."
This talk by Tom Greco was recorded at the 2011 International Conference on Sustainability, Transition and Culture Change: Vision - Action - Leadership which was organized by Local Future, a 501(c)3 non-profit educational organization, and directed by Aaron Wissner.
