Program Preview and Course Synopsis 

Crisis without End?
The economic crisis is an invitation to do things differently, but before we can act differently we need to see differently, above all to think differently! In his economics course Rudolf Steiner outlined what challenges faced humanity if it continued with an outmoded economic thinking and described what was needed to restore health and balance. His description is more relevant than ever but still insufficiently understood as to its hows and whys. He spoke of association, ageing capital, three kinds of money and capitalizing capacities … but where are examples of these things to be found?

In Our Hands
As the (still current) 2007 crisis shows, humanity’s economic thinking has failed: leaving in its wake wealth disparity, environmental destruction, unpayable debts, soulless work and a plethora of phenomena that all lead back to the money question. The responsibility for this does not stop with finance ministers and central bankers but is now in all our hands. How do we understand this and what do we do with it so that we can contribute to the solution rather than continuing to be part of the problem?

Six Steps Towards a New Economic Outlook
We need to change paradigm so that our own thoughts, deeds and arrangements are informed by an associative understanding of the economic process. Then we can give effect to true pricing, investment can be based on capacities, and creative life can be funded. In this way the problems of poverty, illusory capital markets and materialistic culture can be addressed. If we continue on the road we are on, we will only have more of the same. The Money Unveiled course offers an opportunity to inform oneself, to share with others and to take responsibility in association for our common future. Over six sessions there will be an opportunity to learn new content, discuss, provide examples and have one’s questions addressed.

Money orients us in obvious, but also in discrete, ways and these translate into how we ‘organize’ the world around us or are ‘organized by it’.

You’re invited to join the Money Unveiled Course to take a step to better organization!

Arthur_webArthur Edwards is known for his short, impactful presentations about associative economic principles and practical questions of destiny that include family, business, project finance and organizational endeavors.

Arthur currently offers courses and coaching in economics and financial literacy to farmers, educators, entrepreneurs, and young people. For the last 8 years he has been the editor of Associate!, a monthly journal dedicated to associative economics.

Arthur is married with 2 children and lives in the UK near Bristol.

Arthur’s skills as an economist include not only the ability to discern the individual and macro economic problems and get to the heart of them, but also the ability to hone in on a specific situation, whether individual, business or larger institutions, to offer hopeful new directions for those willing to engage with new ways of thinking and being with money.

During the Monthly Support Sessions, Arthur will be joined by Eliah Rael, Money Biographer and Consultant, facilitators, and initiative takers who will share from their experience to provide various perspectives and widen our awareness of what is working around the world.

Arthur will be available for laser consulting during the question and answer monthly support sessions so you’ll have an opportunity to get your questions answered and learn from others too.

Gratitude for Financial Awakening:

“I’m writing to let you know how HUGELY I appreciate Arthur Edwards’ cogent, succinct clarity.
 
He was immensely helpful in answering my question about gift money (as one of the three kinds of money).
 
He awakened profound perspectives in me about how the wondrous economic realities Steiner revealed could permeate throughout human life. 
 
I hope it doesn’t matter that much in the huge scheme of things how long it takes for more of humanity to awaken to these truths. For now one can, of course, do ones best to observe such principles at work plus attempt to practice them, in however minuscule or larger ways they may be able to manifest.”
Dr. Bob, Physician, N. California
