I do not usually enjoy reading nonfiction, but this book covered a wide range of topics - it looked at our world, history, capitalism, and business through concepts and things that are important in our world - nature, money, work, care, food, energy, and lives. This book is all about how world crises support capitalism, and in this modern age, when we still need all of those seven things, that there should be ways to make them accessible to everyone. We need to think creatively and come up with new ideas. It is about finding a new way to understand and and take back our planet. We also need to acknowledge history, which includes struggles and harder times in history. It is all about the history of the world and where the world is going.

This was a very interesting read that provided well thought out views of our world. It makes an excellent conversation starter about where we have been and where we are going.

4 stars. Interesting exploration of the history and scope of commerce and capitalism. In particular, this book focuses on how this system intersects with indigenous people, colonialism, and slavery.
