How to Thrive in the Next Economy by John Thackara
Drawing on an inspiring range of examples, from a temple-led water management system in Bali that dates back hundreds of years to an innovative e-bike collective in Vienna, this book shows that below the radar of the mainstream media there are global communities creating a replacement economy from the ground up.
