Money is a useful tool, but it has been elevated to a
ridiculous status where everything has to be measured in
money - or it doesn't have value.Many people and organisations in different parts of the
world are trying to create a New Economics which
recognises other measures of value, eg New Economics
Foundation in London. links to NEF and other relevant sites
are available from New Economics Network Scotland, a
local group of NEF.
