Annotation

Slow Money is a revolutionary view of the world of entrepreneurship, capital markets, and sustainability. In a joyous, evocative blend of poetry, fiction, and business analysis, Woody Tasch explores the disappearance of honey bees as both disturbing symptom of and perfect metaphor for the economic challenges that face us in the wake of globalization.
As wealth piles up around us, we are disoriented, displaced, dizzied by the spectacular power of global markets. Our dollars, and the businesses they finance, lose their connection to place. Our imaginations, as global citizens and as investors, require a new kind of pollination.
In this era of gigabytes and nanoseconds and megatons, this era of tens of billions of dollars of venture capital financing a few thousand high-tech companies each year, this era of wealth-now/ philanthropy-later, we need new forms of intermediation that nurture the slow, the small, and the local. We need to dare to imagine new approaches to investing and new kinds of capital markets. We need to embrace the task of managing the transition from a commerce of extraction and consumption to a commerce of restoration and preservation. We need Slow Money.
Whether you are an investor who knows, deep down, that the system is broken, a philanthropist who lies awake at night worried about where your endowment is invested, or merely a seeker after the secrets of Roulette Pajamaas "FUNNY MONEY HONEY," you will find here not only food for thought but a recipe for action.
Tasch asks: How can we be so rich and so poor? How can we be so powerful and so vulnerable? Can we find the courage to step off the treadmill of ever-accelerating financial markets? Can we ever findour way back home?
The answers are buzzing right outside your window, right inside your heart, and on the pages of this extraordinary foraging expedition across the boundaries of nature, imagination, and finance.
