Dare to Care, a collection of ideas and initiatives to change finance as
we know it, is a platform for global citizens to work together and
maneuver through the world economic and financial crisis. The ideas
presented within-of changing our mindset from a money-first to a
care-first attitude-are meant to stimulate thoughts about our current
monetary system and economy and how we truly want them to function.
Author Louis Böhtlingk presents a workable method for us to change the
way we think and feel about money, using it instead to support our
fellow man, the Earth, and the gifts we all receive through each other
and our planet. Dare to Care stresses that with a care-first approach,
money can support our efforts to create a better world without greed or
fear of going without. Böhtlingk shares his vision for a love-based
economy and a care-first world, using examples of businesses,
organizations, communities, and individuals who have made this approach
work for them and those they serve. Dare to Care encourages readers to
approach finance and economics from a new perspective, one which urges
them to reorganize their own approach to money and empowers them to act
and achieve a care-first worldview. "In my 25 years as an entrepreneur,
there has been a rule to keep one's heart out of business decisions.
Dare to Care boldly disrupts this rule with a vision of finance and
economics that integrates heart and mind, left and right brain, and
weaves hard economic facts with lyrical poetry. It highlights thriving
businesses, banks, and non-profits which employ Care-First vs.
Money-First as a long overdue pathway to true sustainability for all
people of the world." -Leslie Danziger, Co-founder and former Chairman
of Solaria Corporation, USA "Louis Böhtlingk has given us a clear way to
create a renewed sense of how to assess the tools we have and our needs.
The poetry of Dare to Care is a personal policy that should become the
basis of a newly defined economic policy for all. How do we turn it into
a new course book for candidates seeking Economic PhD degrees?"
-Michaela Walsh, President/Founder of Women's World Banking, USA LOUIS
