Name the PCI’s next book!

By Daniel Lerch, originally published by Post Carbon Institute

September 9, 2011

In early 2012, Post Carbon Institute is releasing its next book. It’s an easy-to-read guide to getting your money out of the Wall Street casino and investing it locally, where it’ll perform better for both you and your community. And we’re thrilled to have PCI Fellow Michael Shuman (Going Local, The Small-Mart Revolution), one of the nation’s top experts in local economies, as the author.

But we still need a title!

From now until Monday, September 12th, we’re turning to our online community to suggest titles for this exciting new book — which, by the way, will be the first of our new Resilience Guides series (more on that later). All you need to do is:

  1. Read the introduction to Michael’s new book.
  2. Suggest a title and subtitle (as many as you want) in comments below or in an email to me.

And if we choose your title, you’ll get:

  • A free copy of the book signed by the author.
  • A special thank you in the book’s acknowledgments.

To learn more about Michael Shuman and his previous books, visit his PCI Fellow profile page.

Crazy Town 85. Escaping Globalism: Rebuilding the Local Economy One Pig Thyroid at a Time

By Asher Miller, Rob Dietz, Jason Bradford, Resilience.org

From the top of a skyscraper in Dubai, Jason, Rob, and Asher chug margaritas made from the purest Greenland glacier ice as they cover the “merits” of globalism. International trade brings so many things, like murder hornets and deadly supply chain disruptions. The opposite of globalism is localism — learn how to build a secure local economy that can keep Asher alive, hopefully at least through the end of the season.

Republicans Have Plans for Working People

By Rebecca Gordon, Tom Dispatch

This fall, as we face the most consequential elections of my lifetime (all 71 years of it), rights that working people once upon a time fought and died for — the eight-hour day, a legal minimum wage, protections against child labor — are, in effect, back on the ballot.
