I'm reading Gar Alperovitz’s America Beyond Capitalism - almost done. Many good ideas and information on things i knew nothing about. But i couldn't help but see that he essentially has a blindspot when it comes to environmental issues. He seems to take for granted that we will have insane population growth and while there is discussion of climate change in terms of water, drought and sea level rise there is nada about ecological collapse. It's really hard to have hope these days.


thanks, i guess, for posting
