If you’ve been following my Book Nooks you’re probably noticing a theme about now: Soil. Or food. Or the environment. They weave in and out and include each other. A major area of interest of mine are these three concerns and how and why the Western culture has evolved to become so enthralled with linear thinking and economic systems that it has almost forgotten that these things undergird our existence. In Inquiries into the Nature of Slow Money: Investing as if Food, Farms, and Fertility Mattered, by Woody Tasch a whole new perspective about economics is proposed. Following the Slow Food society, and inspired by it, Tasch flips ideas of capitalism and investment on their heads and creates a new image of how we can organize ourselves as a society. Great read!
