The Roots of Fortune is much more than a story. It's an exploration of our relationship with nature, with the economy, and with ourselves. This story was born from a simple but fundamental question: what if wealth weren't an accumulation, but a circulation? What if our economic systems could draw inspiration from natural ecosystems to create a more balanced, just, and harmonious world? In this book, you'll discover a world where money literally grows on trees-an idea that may seem fantastical, but serves as a powerful metaphor for rethinking our understanding of value. Through the eyes of lise Mercier, a humble farmer who became a central figure in a global revolution, we delve into a journey of personal and collective transformation. Money trees, far from being mere economic tools, become living partners in the quest for a lost balance between humanity and the planet. This story is also a reflection on our times. As we face unprecedented ecological, social, and economic crises, The Roots of Fortune offers a bold vision: a future where the economy aligns with the fundamental principles of life itself. A future where the notions of wealth and prosperity are no longer defined by what we own, but by what we share and circulate. This book is a call to dream big, to imagine a different world, and to believe in our collective ability to create it. The characters you will meet- lise, Marcel, L a, Helena, Klaus Hoffmann, and even Victor Merceron-are mirrors of our own struggles, hopes, and transformations. Each of them embodies a facet of humanity searching for meaning in a changing world. Ultimately, The Roots of Fortune is a celebration of interconnectedness. Through its pages, you will be invited to see beyond the artificial boundaries that separate us-between humans and nature, between individuals themselves-to perceive the great living web of which we are all a part. May this book be a source of inspiration for you, a spark to imagine new possibilities, or simply a joy to read. And perhaps, at the end of the journey, you will look at the world around you with different eyes-as Elise did when she laid her hand on the first Arbor Communis. Welcome to this adventure. May its deep roots nourish your thoughts and its infinite branches elevate your dreams.
