[OSList] book recommendation- Sacred Economics

[Harold Shinsato]

Raffi,

Thanks so much for sharing this book. The teaser video shows how much 
these ideas are right on the pulse - and interesting how it showed 
people in a circle around a beach. Opening space? Maybe not 
specificially OST - but it sure looked like what inspired Harrison Owen 
in the first place.

What beautiful things would we do if money weren't in the way? Open 
Space is a worthy endeavor to help communities engage with hard 
questions, with the healing, and with the transformation of this 
planetary organism.

Raffi - given how awesome this book looks - what were your other 9?

     Harold
