In what way are our society and culture now evolving? In what direction? Why? Can we trust this direction? Are there – perhaps enormously large – resources hidden behind the way we see the world? In what way might our societal evolution be redirected? What is it that we now take for granted that may quite thoroughly change? Can you imagine a world marked by collaboration and peace?

David Graeber
How has money served us as "evolutionary guidance"? Graeber produced a revealing answer.
