Fabulous to have a new book from the incomparable #ChrisSmaje, and even better to hear him discussing it with luminary #DavidBollier.
A refreshingly different vision of a future we might devote ourselves to building, and so find ourselves living into...

What might the world look like if climate change is not stopped? What if societies refuse to, or cannot rein in capitalism and its relentless growth and exploitation of nature? Chris Smaje, a writer and farmer in southwest England, offers some intelligent speculation in his recently published book, Finding Lights in a Dark Age: Sharing Land, Work and Craft. Smaje is not a doomer or survivalist, nor given to lurid prophesy. His book is a serious analysis of current macro-political and social trends and how they might play out in everyday life. He extrapolates from existing trends -- the rising costs of fossil fuels, food, and transport, the proliferation of droughts, floods, and wildfires, etc. – to sketch a vision of a post-capitalist, climate-disrupted world that is already arriving.
Out on the #DoomerOptimism podcast today, a most stimulating chat I had with #ChrisSmaje and #JasonSnyder!
After my previous convo with Jason, Chris contacted us to suggest we all talk more about the cultural/spiritual aspects of where a #SmallFarmFuture meets #LeanLogic...
So that's what we did! 🖤

What does our post-carbon, post urban, post-industrial future look like and how do we get there in ways that allow the current and future generations of life on this planet to flourish?
