The Family Economy: Discovering the Family as It Was Designed to Work
This book is our attempt to give families a practical starting point—and plenty of inspiration—to begin building their own home economies. It is the culmination of years of teaching, writing, and studying how to build a more durable future. We truly believe the answer to our society’s most pressing problems can only come from families, and it can only start at home. 80 pages, $16 hardcover, $12 softcover (bulk discounts down to $7).
