"The Gift Economy" with Charles Eisenstein, author of the book- The Ascent of Humanity- The Age of Separation, the Age of Reunion, and the convergence of crises that is birthing the transition. Charles is currently writing an expansion of the hopeful ideas of Humanity's reunion with nature and a rediscovery of the "gift economy."  He sees humanity making the transition from adolescence towards adulthood, overcoming the crises which currently threaten us ans seem somewhat insurmountable.  While noting the increasing problems caused by technology, he also sees how approriate technology can help us move towards a genuine healing phase where much of the damage humanity has caused can be remediated.  His website is  http://www.ascentofhumanity.com He will be conducting "Seeding Gift Culture" workshops and retreats in April and speaking at the upcoming  http://futureofmoney.com/moneyconference/ Future of Money and Technology Summit in San Francisco on April 26th.
