'Sacred economics' is the final instalment of my series of essays Harnessing Human Nature to Save the World. Eisenstein's The Ascent of Humanity: Civilization and the Human Sense of Self (2007) and Sacred economics: Money, gift and society in the age of transition (2021) are proto-texbooks for the new-old worldview and the understanding and backbone necessary to save humanity and Earth.
In the modern world, economics has acquired an almost religious aura with its specific dogmas and zealous acolytes. This book demystifies economic ideas by showing how they were born and how they have developed through the ages. Covering more than two thousand years of history, it untangles the links between economics and areas as diverse as theology, physics, the theater, and war. It describes the dangers of economic fundamentalism and offers a fresh perspective on modern debates on politics and economy in a language that is accessible to readers from all backgrounds.

Mortals, Money, and Masters of Thought2017 •
“Mortals, Money, and Masters of Thought is a thoroughly enjoyable medley of philosophical meditations. Covering a very wide variety of topics, from metaphysical matters like the nature of history and art, to practical and ethically serious matters like global economic injustice, this collection nevertheless offers a remarkably coherent reading experience, where all topics are joined together by the common theme of death. This is the work of an enquiring mind, investigating the most serious matters with logical clarity and also with imaginative playfulness.” --Brendan Myers, author of The Other Side of Virtue and Reclaiming Civilization.

Money in the making of world society: Inaugural lecture2007 •
I will talk today about people, machines, and money. This, in a reduced form, is the project that I take from Marx. He found that under Victorian capitalism, working people were tied to machines in the new factories and subordinated to the power of big money. He and Engels thought that this order of social organization—giving priority to money which bought the machines and thereby controlling the workers—ought to be reversed. In a broad sense, this is my political project and my writing project too. My lecture has three sections: first on machines, then on money and finally on the emergent world society that humanity is now making.
