DESCRIPTION:\nFor our November meeting we will be reading the first seven chapters of 
 "Breaking Together" by Jem Bendell (Amazon, free download .epub).\n\nThe 
 collapse of modern societies has begun. That is the conclusion of two years 
 of research by the interdisciplinary team behind Breaking Together. How 
 did it come to this? Because monetary systems caused us to harm each other 
 & nature to such an extent it broke the foundations of our societies. So 
 what should we do? This book describes people allowing the full pain of our 
 predicament to liberate them into living more courageously & creatively. 
 They demonstrate we can be breaking together, not apart, in this era of 
 collapse. Jem Bendell argues that reclaiming our freedoms is essential to 
 soften the fall & regenerate the natural world. Escaping the efforts of 
 panicking elites, we can advance an ecolibertarian agenda for both politics 
 & practical action in a broken world.\n\nStrike Debt Bay Area hosts this

 thinking. Previous readings have included (in chronological order) Doughnut
