Life over Money Blog

Introduction

Life vs money is the key to our survival. Our current system of finance/corporate capitalism only values money. Life is considered an “externality”, not to be included when planning unlimited growth through competition; always playing a zero-sum game.

On this blog you will find the wisdom of others who support the reorientation of our values to support life instead of money. Here are some sources for this wisdom:
