The first book of economics I read was The Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer .

She describes something from her Potawatomi heritage called the gift economy.

The more money people have, the less pleasant they sometimes are (not always) It makes me suspect there is something poisonous about money.

We want our lives to be full of pleasure, not debt.
