Thanks, Ramesh. I purchased the ebook yesterday and have read about forty pages so far.
Spending the past two years focusing on community resilience, one lesson that stands out for me is communities are better able to navigate disruption when decision making, resources and capacity are rooted closer to the people and place they serve. I don't mean so much isolation, but I believes it suggests the importance of balancing local self reliance with broader cooperation.
I am looking forward to reading the rest of the book.
Hi Christy, thanks for purchasing the book and for reading it. It would be great if you could write a review on Amazon afterward. I very much agree with your assertion that localities are better at navigating disruption--from climate disasters, such as the fires in Canada or heat in Europe, to economic crises; the main cause is the centralization of wealth and the extraction of resources. Hence, we need to return to the localization of the economy and the use of resources. This is a largely underreported and misunderstood phenomenon, as we too often try to fix the problems with the same thinking that created them. Centralized capitalism cannot fix or reform itself--we need a decentralized and democratic antithesis.
