A Mechanism that Can Change the World

This book initiates a debate, which has thus far not taken place in society. It describes a financial mechanism to sustainably finance our common future and in particular, the United Nations Sustainability Developments Goals. A parallel, optional currency system, operating through distributive ledger technology can offer such a mechanism. In order to grasp and implement this new financial mechanism however, our collective Western mind-set must gravitate towards Eastern thinking, namely Taoism. It is only in doing so that we can attain a more sustainable future, with wealth, peace, humanity and a healthier planet.
