Praise for Indigenomics
Indigenomics is the anti-thesis of Adam Smith s 1776 The Wealth of Nations, which has been the dominant economic theology of free-market capitalism and the codex of colonization. Carol Anne Hilton has authored one of the most important books of our economic era providing a new yet ancient Indigenous framework for building economies of well-being. Indigenomics represents a pragmatic framework for decision making, policy development, monetary policy, and budgeting that places collective economic well-being, relationships, and Indigenous laws at the heart of wise governance. Indigenomics reflects how Canada (Kanata), meaning sacred or pure land, was intended to be prior to colonization. Like The Wealth of Nations , I feel that Hilton s work will shape global economics for many generations.
- Mark Anielski, economist and author, The Economics of Happiness: Building Genuine Wealth and An Economy of Well-Being: Common-sense Tools for Building Genuine Wealth and Happiness
This book is well overdue. Hilton is a visionary who situates how and why Indigenous worldviews are important to enhancing the modern economy. Indigenomics provides an anti-colonial lens to reframe narratives about Indi genous entrepreneurship, business leadership, health, and well-being.
- Dr. Jacqueline Quinless, Adjunct Professor of Sociology, University of Victoria
Indigenomics is the concept the world has been waiting for. As the failure of old fashioned linear economic models becomes increasingly evident, Carol Anne Hilton showcases regenerative models based on Indigenous wisdom, both social and spiritual-the economy of consciousness - that represent pathways of possibility that are essential if humanity is to survive.
- Amanda Ellis, Director, Global Partnerships, Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory, Arizona State University
A deep bow for Carol Anne Hilton and all the other Indigenous angels of our time! What an inspiring source of wisdom for how to be in the world in the fullness of our humanity. What a powerful guide to building an inclusive economy and serving a new balance between the souls of all living creatures, economics, and nature.
- Ivo Valkenburg, co-founder New Financial Activators
Carol Anne Hilton s writing tells an intergenerational narrative, from an Indigenous economy, to the rise of Wiindigo Economics, and to the resurgence of Indigenous. Her analysis illustrating the foundational differences between Industrial and Indigenous economics is insightful and clear, allowing a reader to contemplate what are more than surface differences. Hilton s work reaffirms the significance of relationship economics, AKA to be just and fair to all the relatives, and the centrality of Indigenous thinking to the next economy, the one we must restore and create-the green path-as opposed to the scorched path. Her words clearly illustrate that Indigenomics is the path for the future. As we move through the portal of this time, knowing that pandemics change our world, let s walk through to a path of restorative economics, founded on land, spirit, and the reality of Mother Earth s wealth, which is our responsibility to acknowledge and respect. Her book is essential core material for the next class of economists. The time of Keynesian economic analysis has passed, along with the empire. The time of cooperation is here.
- Winona LaDuke, executive director, Honor the Earth
Immense gratitude for Indigenomics . With our world in crisis, Carol Anne Hilton shows us how to view economic and social values through an Indigenous lens. For thousands of years First Nations people have held the knowledge of the ancestors and the great laws of nature, which govern all life. With this deep understanding and masterful rigor, Carol Anne takes us step by step across a bridge to the future, where economics, productivity, and prosperity are guided by the innate and universal values of our humanity, which is one with all creation.
- Tracey Anne Cooper, creator and producer, Beyond Crisis Webinar Series
In the tradition of an economic philosopher Ms. Hilton has read the times in which we live in and is reframing the dialogue on nation building with Indigenous Peoples place at the economic table-advancing Indigenous worldviews, human values, and relationships as new constructs for change. Now it is our collective responsibility to advance meaningful employment and economic inclusion strategies, and outcomes.
