Friday Aug. 2nd at 6:30 part 2 of a conversation with Jem Bendell will air on The Progressive Page Turner. In the first half we talked about what collapse looks like and how it might play out. The second half focuses more on how to respond.
Dr. Bendell’s early career focused on mitigating the effects of industrial civilization. He worked with the UN and NGO’s all over the world. Davos deemed him a young global leader. In 2018, after extensive research on the state of life on the planet he published the Deep Adaptation paper which said basically that a collapse of our economy, food production and energy systems is inevitable. In his new book Breaking together he goes one step further and writes that collapse has already begun. The best we can hope for is ways to make the crash less ruinous. And the only way to do that is change the how we live and how we view our relationships with each other and the rest of the natural world.
