From Principle to Practice builds on the Local Economy & Governance System (LEGS) to present a complete, human‑centred alternative to today’s money‑driven structures. This companion helps readers understand LEGS as a clean‑sheet design focused on contribution, locality, and guaranteed essentials—not a reform of the existing economic model. By reframing value around people, securing the Basic Living Standard, and ensuring money circulates rather than accumulates, the system offers a practical blueprint for resilient, community‑led governance. This excerpt invites readers to step beyond old assumptions and explore a future built on natural principles, shared responsibility, and genuine economic dignity.
