I gotta give a hat tip to nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z for the recommendation to read "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" by John Perkins. And then for having Mr. Perkins on his show.

What an incredible story and it is a testimony to why we need to rebuild the world on #Bitcoin and freedom tech.

Perkins talks about how he was culpable in building the global "death economy" as an economic hitman for a global consulting firm called MAIN in the 70s and 80s.

The four pillars to the death economy are:

- Fear

- Debt

- Anxiety Over Insufficiency

- Divide and Conquer

What we need to transition to is "the life economy." If I may be so bold, I'd suggest that the four pillars to the life economy could be:

- Love

- Sound Money

- Security In Abundance

- Unite and Collaborate

I have received a rush of creativity since I started reading "Economic Hitman," and have written a ton about what building the life economy could look like. I'm thinking I will start publishing more long form pieces here in the coming weeks.

So thanks for the inspiration, Preston. Let's get to building the life economy everyone 🫡
