No Easy Task

Money is a concept, right? Money grows on trees, is made in factories and traded on the open market.

Does money buy happiness? Stability?

Depends, right?

From one perspective, money attracts attention when offered as a stabilizer, but ends up in not necessarily the wrong hands but not in the hands of the intended recipients:

From another perspective, dialogue AND money make the difference:

In other words, an imperfect world. Money is not the solution to everything but does open up economic avenues upon which a prosperous world may benefit most if not all of us in the long-term, knowing some people will never be happy because they mistake money for a sense of community and forget about those around them who are starving for stability and happiness that money brings.

Help a community reach stability and happiness without the raw attraction of money alone - that's what we're after, isn't it? Purchasing power in our own hands. A safe place to raise our families. A sense of ownership within our local systems - farms, villages, towns, cities. Hope for a viable future.
