DESCRIPTION:\nFor our February, 2026 meeting we will be reading and discussing the 
 first three chapters of  A Paradise Built in Hell by Rebecca Solnit 
 (Amazon) (Alibris).  For our March meeting we will finish the 
 book.\n\n\nThe most startling thing about disasters, according to 
 award-winning author Rebecca Solnit, is not merely that so many people rise 
 to the occasion, but that they do so with joy. That joy reveals an 
 ordinarily unmet yearning for community, purposefulness, and meaningful 
 work that disaster often provides. A Paradise Built in Hell is an 
 investigation of the moments of altruism, resourcefulness, and generosity 
 that arise amid disaster's grief and disruption and considers their 
 implications for everyday life. It points to a new vision of what society 
 could become-one that is less authoritarian and fearful, more collaborative 
 and local.\nStrike Debt Bay Area hosts this non-technical book group 
 discussion monthly on new and radical economic thinking. Our first book was 
  Doughnut Economics, and our most recent books were What's Left - 3 Paths 
 Through the Planetary Crisis, The Age of Insecurity and Elinor Ostrom's 
 Rules for Radicals. For the rest of our reading list see here.\n
