Globalization has no future. Political stability is a thing of the past; climate chaos is intensifying; anxiety disorders are of epidemic proportions; extremism and fundamentalism are becoming the norm. And yet we cling to the wreckage. Politicians of every hue continue to be in thrall to the global market. To challenge 'free trade,' which is the very essence of globalization, is all but unthinkable. But challenge it we must. And replace it. The future will be local. And the good news is that it is already happening. Under the radar of the mainstream media, a worldwide localization movement is emerging. On every continent, people are coming together to claw back control over their own economies, and in doing so are rebuilding connections to one another, while repairing fractured communities and damaged environments.

This is by far the most successful of the suite of books I've been reading the past few years that try to imagine how we can get ourselves to a "better" (less demanding, less constrained, less angry, less depressed) world. There are tangible actions to be found here, and the prescription has the resonance of truth. That said, the author is enough of a stereotype that I have some reservations (white girl who got to know a remote people during the '70s and made it her life's work to proselytize for their unmodernized culture).
