Here’s a short but great little video by Richard Heinberg, one of the authors and scholars we interviewed in What A Way To Go. This is a piece that Post Carbon Institute produced. Worth the watch. Even more, worth actually digesting. When we suspend the assumption that economic growth is good, is possible, is recoverable, a whole host of opportunities and possibilities arise. On the other hand so long as one stays hoping for “economic recovery” bestowed from above by a benevolent authority who lives in a big white house or sits at the head of a shiny conference table in a glass and metal office building, there is only the opportunity to be, and feel, victimized.
