The global financial
situation is very grim and Europe is imploding which is already having a major
impact on us – there are now over 1 million young people between 16 and 24
unemployed in the UK – stats published this week.
Given that we are at the
end of growth a whole new economic model is needed. The New
Economics Foundation here as done some good work on that – see http://www.neweconomics.org/
and scroll to The Great Transition (free download).
I continue to enjoy Prof
Steve Keen’s work – he is over this way at the moment – a great interview at http://www.renegadeeconomist.com/blog/video/in-conversation-with-steve-keen.html.
Carolyn Baker’s work
Navigating the Coming Chaos which addressed the psychological aspects is very
helpful – it’s a great companion to the transition movement work.
Her website is http://carolynbaker.net/.
The attached document On
the Cusp of Collapse by David Korowicz is one of the best I’ve come across explaining the physics.
I wondered whether you know of
Alan Hirsch’s work – if not have a look at his series of Forgotten Ways videos
at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3Lt9hk9fiU&feature=related.
