Inspiration for the burned-out localizer

By Erik Curren | June 1, 2015

Richard Heinberg

While Marx predicted that socialism would follow capitalism, Richard Heinberg predicts the next thing will be localism. "All roads appear to lead eventually to localism; the questions are: how and when shall we arrive there, and in what condition?
