Summary:
A fascinating look at a world in which we have become obsessed with economic growth at the expense of quality of life and what we can do to change. The horsemen are galloping and there are more than four. From climate change to financial meltdown, feral elites and social division, food crises and the peak and decline of oil, stressed water supplies and mass extinctions it's the age of the complex super system shock. Some sort of
apocalypse
seems inevitable. Can it be cancelled? These are real threats, but a great transition is in the air. History shows that human beings have an amazing ability to change and adapt. Once our basic needs are met, it's not more voracious economic growth we need for quality of life, but a different way of organising our days, working lives and neighbourhoods.

Apocalypse
