It's apparently World Localization Day, and I've made the wise choice to stay up very late to attend the first session of New Economy Network of Australia's Post-Growth Futures Week on building local futures through transition and regrowth. Amazing discussion on the need to imagine the lives we actually want to live, connect with others, and create a world that allows all to thrive.

I'm looking forward to the rest of the week! (And to watching the recording of this session to catch all the stuff I missed -- central standard time is just a wee bit behind Australian eastern standard time...)

NENA Post-Growth Futures Week 2026

Join us in exploring what life beyond a growth-dependent economy could look like - and how we get there!

Quando la #finanza smette di essere solo numeri e inizia a evolversi davvero, succede qualcosa di interessante.

Non è più solo questione di banche, app o carte.

È il momento in cui mondi diversi iniziano a parlarsi: tradizione e innovazione, valore e #tecnologia, quotidianità e futuro.

Quello che fino a ieri sembrava distante — complesso, tecnico, quasi “per pochi” — oggi si avvicina. Si semplifica. Si integra.
