DESCRIPTION:\n\nFor our November meeting we will be reading the first seven chapters of 
 "Breaking Together" by Jem Bendell (Amazon, free download .epub).  For our 
 December meeting we will finish the book.\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 non-technical 
 book group discussion monthly on new and radical economic thinking.
