As financial markets sell off around the globe and world leaders scramble to prevent national defaults from collapsing the global economy, today's youth are certain to live through a massive shift in the monetary paradigm. An education system that prepared us to receive jobs in a consumer economy injured our ability to truly learn and now we face the insult of entering a bleak job market. Is money real or is it based on societal myths? Can a monetary system built on collaboration rather than competition create a society that amplifies the positive aspects of human nature? As Mike Ruppert says: until we change the way money works, we change nothing.<\/p>\n<p>In <strong>Extraenvironmentalist #25 <\/strong>we speak with <a href=\"http:\/\/charleseisenstein.com\/\">Charles Eisenstein<\/a> about his new book <a href=\"http:\/\/www.northatlanticbooks.com\/catalog\/display.pperl?isbn=9781583943977\">Sacred Economics<\/a> which explains how to save the concept of money from being subject to our outdated understanding of human nature and simplistic mechanistic models of the physical world around us. While the social unrest sweeping from Cairo to Athens to Barcelona to New York is disrupting monetary dynamics can it also create an applicable positive vision? Charles explains how a negative interest currency and an economic model that integrates equity and ecology can end what we perceive to be the human nature emphasized by our current currency. Can we accept that the failure of money isn't the end of the world but that it is an opportunity to reorganize?<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_3412\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-673-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/extraenvironmentalist\/xepodcasts.com\/assets\/podcasts\/extraenvironmentalist\/025-saving-money.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/extraenvironmentalist\/xepodcasts.com\/assets\/podcasts\/extraenvironmentalist\/025-saving-money.mp3\">https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/extraenvironmentalist\/xepodcasts.com\/assets\/podcasts\/extraenvironmentalist\/025-saving-money.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\/\/ Music (in order of appearance)<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.themusicninja.com\/dubstep-zeds-dead-coffee-break\/\">Zeds Dead - Coffee Break<\/a> <em>via <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.themusicninja.com\/\">The Music Ninja<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/stereogum.com\/812721\/mgmt-all-we-ever-wanted-was-everything-bauhaus-cover\/mp3s\/\">MGMT - All We Ever Wanted (Bauhaus Cover)<\/a> <em>via<\/em> <a href=\"http:\/\/stereogum.com\/\">Stereogum<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.earmilk.com\/2011\/09\/21\/daily-2-chilled-and-ready-to-serve-michita\/\">Michita - November<\/a> <em>via <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.earmilk.com\/\">Earmilk<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gorillavsbear.net\/2011\/09\/01\/mp3-health-goth-star-pictureplane-cover\/\">HEALTH - Goth Star (Pictureplane Cover)<\/a><em> via <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gorillavsbear.net\/\">Gorilla vs. Bear<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/dubtune.com\/play\/the-beatles-eleanor-rigby-butch-clancy-remix-1679.html\">Beatles - Eleanor Rigby (Butch Clancy Remix)<\/a> <em>via <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/dubtune.com\/\">Dubtunes<\/a><em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>\/\/ Extended Clips<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hx16a72j__8\">Fiat Money<\/a> <em>via<\/em> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.renegadeeconomist.com\/\">Renegade Economist<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;cd=3&amp;ved=0CDEQtwIwAg&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DaC19fEqR5bA&amp;rct=j&amp;q=trader%20bbc%20&amp;ei=Y6GLTpK_GO6DsgKFnfTQBA&amp;usg=AFQjCNHWsnz2oOYVXBou5UythR6IJJyjLg&amp;sig2=hQIdwSB0oTyxmYNtXaDp3w&amp;cad=rja\">Trader Interview on BBC<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=t&amp;source=video&amp;cd=1&amp;ved=0CD4QtwIwAA&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DSu5mXhf1Qpc&amp;rct=j&amp;q=occupy%20boston&amp;ctbm=vid&amp;ei=aaGLTu2yPLDjsQL98emoBA&amp;usg=AFQjCNEK5k_Ouo8k1hGmtWIpW5dg-SkzLg&amp;sig2=p7e-wRnvQzdOnt8Bn2umAA&amp;cad=rja\">Occupy Boston<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is it more practical to learn permaculture than to earn a business degree?
