I have finished reading a wonderful book by Mark Boyle - The
Moneyless Man.
I loved this book. It was intelligent, entertaining,
straightforward, very honest and above all interesting.
To begin, Mark describes some of the problems with the
current economic system in a very simple to understand way. And explains how he
manages to happily and healthily live by extracting himself (as much as
possible) from the system, but not society.
Mark raises many points that perhaps we could each be more
mindful of. In his own words: “Where money once provided me with my primary
sense of security, I now find it in friends and the local community. Some of my
closest mates are people I only met because I had to build real relationships
with others based on trust and kindness, not money.”
As a person living in Bristol in the UK, he understands and
explains the compromises and contradictions he comes into along the way. He
provides us with recipes and how-to tips. He fills us with a sense of ‘can-do’
and love of our planet and fellow friend (many we just haven’t met yet).
