Subsequent economists, such as David Ricardo, built upon the concept of specialization and developed a theory suggesting that free trade could enhance overall well-being. This improvement is attributed to the specialization that occurs among nations.

What Is An Emergency?

1 week ago | resilience.org | Bill McKibben

We are living through a week unlike any other in my lifetime; maybe the last truly comparable stretch was the bank closure that marked the start of the FDR administration, but then the president was there to tell Americans they had nothing to fear; now we have a president who can only insist we “take our medicine.” He is constantly hyping the fear, and he is doing it with the constant invocation of a word—”emergency”—designed to send us into ever-deeper panic.
Urban Legend: The Harebrained Myth of Urban Sustainability and Why You Should Bet on the Country Tortoise

1 week ago | resilience.org | Jason Bradford

Summary: In the mid-1990s physicists Geoffrey West and Louis Bettencourt collaborated with biologists to study allometric scaling laws, where it is generally found that larger organisms are more efficient consumers of energy than smaller ones. After mathematically explaining these laws through fractal network effects, the researchers began applying them to the human built environment, particularly cities.
Commoning within Arts Collectives: Three International Stories

2 weeks ago | resilience.org | David Bollier

What are some of the distinctive ways that precarious arts collectives share resources, support each other, and make art? I recently learned a lot about this topic from a workshop of international artists convened in Amsterdam. Most of the artists are associated with the so-called Lumbung Practice collective, an interdisciplinary group experimenting with how to cultivate a commons-based art economy.
The Homeless Garden Project Is Opening New Doors to Helping the Unhoused

2 weeks ago | resilience.org | Damon Orion

This article was produced by Local Peace Economy. An analysis of data from 2017 and 2022 by the Pew Charitable Trusts points to a direct connection between high housing costs and homelessness rates in the United States. Unsurprisingly, a Santa Cruz County Civil Grand Jury 2024 report stated that the city, which the National Low Income Housing Coalition as America’s most expensive rental market in 2023 and 2024, has the most people experiencing homelessness in California per capita.
This is what democracy looks like

Our Solidarity Brown Bag Community Meeting was packed; 150 people showed up in the noisy Fellowship Hall of the Methodist Church down the hill from my house. Oh what has happened in that room!In fact, Transition Whidbey, our former run at community organizing in light of global threats (at that time, Peak Oil) met there often.
How Worker-Owned News Outlets Are Changing the Media Industry

3 weeks ago | resilience.org | Damon Orion

This article was produced by Local Peace Economy. The arrival of COVID-19 in the United States kicked off an ongoing period of job insecurity within the media industry. In April 2020, the New York Times reported that about 37,000 news company employees had been laid off, furloughed, or had their salaries reduced since March of that year. This instability was still evident in 2024, with media outlets like the Los Angeles Times, the Messenger, and HuffPost undergoing major layoffs and closures.
Crazy Town 101: Even AI Chatbots Hate Us: The Rise of the New Luddites, with Brian Merchant

3 weeks ago | resilience.org | Asher Miller |Rob Dietz |Jason Bradford

Show NotesWho knew that the breakthrough moment of AI sentience would come from interacting with an annoying neo-Luddite? After failing to raise a single dollar for PCI’s newest initiative — the $350 billion Transdisciplinary Institute for Phalse Prophet Studies and Education (TIPPSE) — Jason, Rob, and Asher devise the only profitable pitch for raising capital: using AI technology to cure the loneliness that technology itself causes.
America First: Can it be squared with proposed ‘annexation’ of Greenland, Canada and the Panama Canal?

3 weeks ago | resilience.org | Kurt Cobb |Bart Russell Anderson

The “America First” slogan often used by candidate Donald Trump in his first and second presidential campaigns might sound on its surface to indicate disengagement from global affairs and a focus on domestic priorities. So, it may seem puzzling that President Donald Trump is talking about annexing Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, a NATO ally; Canada, a sovereign country and a NATO ally; and retaking the Panama Canal.
The Growing Inequality Among Countries and the Worsening Climate Crisis

4 weeks ago | resilience.org | John Feffer

Reducing global inequality and saving the planet from climate catastrophe are intertwined. Let’s address both at once. In a fit of madness or just plain desperation, you’ve enrolled in a get-rich-quick scheme. All you have to do is sell some products, sign up a few friends, and make some calls. Follow that simple formula, and you’ll soon pull in tens of thousands of dollars a month—or so you’ve been promised anyway.
Beneath Greenland’s ice lies a climate solution - and a new geopolitical battleground

4 weeks ago | resilience.org | Matt Simon

“This story was originally published by Grist. Sign up for Grist’s weekly newsletter here.”Greenland’s massive cap of ice, containing enough fresh water to raise sea levels by 23 feet, is in serious trouble. Between 2002 and 2023, Greenland lost 270 billion tons of frozen water each year as winter snowfall failed to compensate for ever-fiercer summer temperatures. That’s a significant contributor of sea level rise globally, which is now at a quarter of an inch a year.
