It measures factory hours but ignores the mother comforting a child, the mentor transmitting wisdom, the elder preserving culture. It counts GDP but not trust, care, or intergenerational transmission. As populations age, trust erodes, and AI accelerates, this blind spot becomes a civilizational crisis.Time Economics offers a bold alternative. It places time at the center of value: the most equitable, irreversible, and non-storable resource humans possess. From this foundation, it builds an operating system for a post-scarcity, trust-rich civilization: TCoin, a blockchain-based time currency; STE, the Standard Time Equivalent; TGDP, a measure of value per hour; social entropy, a metric for coordination failure; the Time Triple Helix of storage, trust, and value proliferation; and intergenerational compound interest that turns care today into security tomorrow.This is not mere theory. The book designs time banks and enterprise time balance sheets, Gig Economy and portable benefits, silver productivity and wisdom mines, Gestation Funds and Future Generations Funds, global time clearing and interstellar protocols. It also confronts the dark side: value alienation, time tyranny, algorithmic dictatorship, digital caste systems, and existential risk. Its answer is re-internalization-protecting the non-exteriorizable core of suffering, death, love, and human autonomy.Sharpens the project into a testable research program and an open institutional experiment. It does not ask for belief; it asks for tests. It welcomes independent criticism, open data, and small-step pilots. Its core claims are stated as falsifiable propositions; its metrics are transparent; its pilot protocols are replicable; its risks, failure modes, and governance safeguards remain open to revision. The appendices are integrated into a working architecture for measurement, experimentation, critique, and replication: core propositions and falsification criteria; transparent metrics and data standards; replicable pilot protocols; governance and risk registers; and open critique and replication.At once rigorous and visionary, Time Economics is for policymakers, entrepreneurs, economists, community builders, caregivers, and anyone who refuses to let life be reduced to a line item. It does not promise utopia. It offers a blueprint: from scarcity competition to abundance sharing, from atomized survival to the emergent Atomic Commonwealth.When time becomes currency, every act of care stops evaporating. Every transmission of wisdom starts compounding. Civilization begins to earn interest.This is not a finished doctrine. It is an invitation to test, falsify, refine, and rebuild-together, in public.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/816/004/9798160045948_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "158.98", "online_price" : "158.98", "our_price" : "158.98", "club_price" : "158.98", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
