DESCRIPTION:For 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
