ABOUT THE MONEY FIX

Money is at the intersection of nearly every aspect of modern life. Most of us take the monetary system for granted, but it has a profound and largely misunderstood influence on our lives. THE MONEY FIX is a feature-length documentary exploring our society’s relationship with the almighty dollar.

THE MONEY FIX examines economic patterning in both the human and the natural worlds, and through this lens we learn how we can empower ourselves by redesigning the lifeblood of the economy at the community level. The film documents three types of alternative money systems, all of which help solve economic problems for the communities in which they operate.

Here is a recent blog by Alan Rosenblith for Souldish in which he explores questions such as: What is money? Where does it come from? How does the design of our monetary system affect our lives? http://www.souldish.com/2009/10/19/the-money-fix-by-alan-rosenblith

Jennifer Cohen is a founding partner of Seven Stones Leadership, a professional services firm advancing the practice of leadership, wisdom, courage and sufficiency. She leverages over 15 years of experience in coaching top managers to achieve outstanding results as well as being a coach’s coach. Seven Stones was created to fulfill on the supposition that meaningful effective leadership requires the exposure of assumptions that guide organizations. Once uncovered, organizations can create a new set of beliefs, ones which if embraced and enacted would powerfully shift the company toward the mindset of sufficiency. The concept of Sufficiency asserts that there are enough resources to sustain all and a global economy based on these principles would be a very different world in which to compete. http://sevenstonesleadership.com/
