Her plan was to restore an ancient kind of habitat across much of the North Atlantic called “woodmeadows,” which are exactly what they sound like—a mosaic of trees, grasses, and flowers that marry the creatures of the meadow with those of the forest.”https://t.co/XKdRCTvIdj

Resilience: The Simpler Way: Editors’ Introduction
By Samuel Alexander, Jonathan Rutherford

The Simpler Way is an ‘eco-anarchist’ vision of a world where self-governing communities live materially simple but sufficient lives, in harmony with ecological limits. Central themes discussed in the following pages include a radical critique of consumer capitalism; the need for fundamental system change; and a transition theory based on building a new society from the grassroots up.

ICA: Why Read: Ivan Illich’s The Right to Useful Unemployment and its Professional Enemies?

As he aims to achieve a more ‘convivial society,’ Illich unpacks the concept of ‘modernized poverty’ as an oppositional factor. With the exception of the mega-rich, who can disappear into luxury, he understands everyone else as living in conditions of ‘modernized poverty.’ Within this, the proliferation and dominance of commodities prevents any autonomous living, culturally shaped use-value, and subsequently renders satisfaction outside of market-relations impossible. He instead suggests a method of ‘convivial austerity,’ where people would put a limit on the maximum amount of power that anyone could hold, re-activating the possibility for personal use-value.
