A možná konečně přestanete mít výčitky za to, že jste „jen“ sami sebou. Protože víte co? Všichni vám můžou. Hlavně že vám je skvěle. Všichni chtějí, abyste byli hodní, ochotní, spolehliví. Vyhovující. Nápomocní. Ticho trpící. Tak dlouho, až z toho jednoho dne prasknete. Alexandra Reinwarth to udělala jinak – řekla „ne“, když to bylo třeba, a přestala se bát, co si o ní kdo pomyslí. V knize Všichni mi můžete… Hlavně, že mně je skvěle otevřeně mluví o situacích, kdy bychom si zasloužili medaili jen za to, že jsme se nerozbrečeli.

Finding Lights in a Dark Age - Chris Smaje

Named to the Civil Eats "2025 Food and Farming Holiday Book Gift Guide"How we can meet the challenges of our age by moving away from the political and economic philosophies of both the left and right to a more equitable re-organization of society, economy, land and food production, driven by the local community rather than a central government. Today, society and government are still asking what our country can yield, and in what quantity. They do so because in a sense we are still living in conquest-based societies. Agrarian thinker Chris Smaje opens this book by drawing an arresting modern parallel to Viking raiding, trading and enslaving societies and the Ragnarok they faced then of dramatic climate change and societal collapse. So, to meet these modern crises, Chris asks us to look beyond the current discourse of capitalism versus chaos, and indeed the dualism of ‘state versus market’ and the ‘state with the market’, both of which has failed us. Instead, Chris explores a world where we live slower lives more immersed in local ecologies. Where our present Viking age has inflicted a thorough alienation from place and local livelihood, Chris proposes other models of collective organization, where land and ...
