In this bold and hopeful book, ecological economist Guy Dauncey argues that the crises we face-from climate collapse to inequality and social division-are symptoms of an economy designed to reward domination and capital gain. After nine years of research, Dauncey proposes a powerful alternative: the economics of kindness.

Blending anthropology, economic history, and visionary policy, he offers detailed, practical solutions across housing, work, banking, democracy, climate, and community. From public banks and cooperative housing to regenerative farming and global governance reform, this is a manifesto for systemic transformation.

Endorsed by Bill McKibben, Ann Pettifor, Jeremy Lent, and David Korten, The Economics of Kindness is a call to imagine and build a new ecological civilization-one where kindness is not just personal, but structural.

Guy Dauncey is a romantic economist, the author of eleven books on ways to build a fair, ecologically sustainable world. A fellow of the Findhorn Foundation and the Royal Society for Arts, he co-founded Prevent Cancer Now, the BC Sustainable Energy Association, and the West Coast Climate Action Network. He lives on Vancouver Island, Canada.
