Okay, okay, that’s nothing new; we’re always on the brink of the future, but as Thomas H Greco, Fr. has made clear in “The End of Money and the Future of Civilization,” that future is very bright. In “Future,” Greco makes the case that we’re on the brink of a revolution in money and, thus, the precipice of a new, more egalitarian, more responsible, and more fulfilling existence (quite a claim, I know).

The author reviews the current state of the economy with a history of money, government, and banking with a fairly easy-to-understand style mixed in with a touch of conspiracy theory about the bankers that control the entire system. His take: a few bankers are control of the central banks of the world; the central banks control the governments, the governments control the people. We can bypass all that control by making our own money, as Greco recommends: Mutual Credit Clearing associations that allow people to trade goods and services without relying on money (which is affiliated with the current power structure).

This book is well-thought-out, inspirational, and could lead the way to the dawn of a better world. The structure of the book is a little out of whack and could be better organized to allow readers unfamiliar with the banking process easier access to the information, but all in all, this is a highly recommended read.

Get the book, take it in, and help bring in the future.
