In Surviving the Future , Fleming has left behind his greatest gift: a remarkable clarity of vision—a way of seeing the world not just for what it is, but for what it might be. Building on the tradition of E. Building on a remarkable breadth of intellectual and cultural heritage--from Keynes to Kumar, Homer to Huxley, Mumford to MacIntyre, Scruton to Shiva, Shakespeare to Schumacher--Fleming describes a world in which, as he says, "there will be time for music. Quotes from Surviving the Fut Thank goodness his analysis can now be shared more widely. But equally, there were inflections of this argument that I appreciated the force of, and will no doubt find useful. Recognizing that Lean Logic's sheer size and unusual structure can be daunting, Fleming's long-time collaborator Shaun Chamberlin has selected and edited one of these potential narratives to create Surviving the Future. There is a sort of strange mythology of how wond I found this both fascinating and bizarre. Clarity hits you: it won't be easy but there won't be any other choices than a lean economy and society.

He believed that the market economy will not survive its inherent flaws beyond the early decades of this century, and that its failure will bring great challenges, but he did not dwell on this: We know what we need to do. The French had more spare time than that, while the Spanish a whopping five months off a year. Evidently, he possessed the personality, the temperament, of a happy warrior: one who conducts his battles with joy, knowing full well the magnitude, difficulty and inevitable losses of the struggle. But rather than inducing despair, Lean Logic and Surviving the Future inspire optimism … to rediscover the importance of resilience, community, and culture. James Lovelock believes we are headed to a burning hell of Earth where only a handful of people and probably four scorched koalas will survive. View 2 comments.

David sees with present capitalist critics that the end of our market economy is in sight; no wonder centrist democrats are flipping out on Facebook fearing Socialism and equitable distribution happening before the crash. In pandemic times it is even more relevant, we gotta figure out how to interact with each other, how much we need community and how we get it. Time 6. This book feels seductively wrong.

In it, Fleming examined the consequences of an economy that destroys the very foundations—ecological, economic, and cultural—upon which it is built. Knowing that collapse is the only possible outcome, he asked, and envisioned, “What will follow?” Now, in partnership with Fleming’s estate and his close friend and collaborator Shaun Chamberlin, Chelsea Green Publishing announces the release of Fleming’s posthumous work—Lean Logic: A Dictionary for the Future and How to Survive It. Characteristic of Fleming’s wit, whimsy, and rebellion, he chose an all but bygone form—a written dictionary— to express his views of a future beyond industrial capitalism.

  • The Political Economy of Deep Decarbonization: Tradable Energy Quotas for Energy Descent Futures
    energies Review The Political Economy of Deep Decarbonization: Tradable Energy Quotas for Energy Descent Futures Samuel Alexander * and Joshua Floyd Melbourne Sustainable Society Institute, University of Melbourne, Melbourne 3010, Australia; josh@joshfloyd.com * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 14 July 2020; Accepted: 17 August 2020; Published: 19 August 2020 Abstract: This paper reviews and analyses a decarbonization policy called the Tradable Energy Quotas (TEQs) system developed by David Fleming. The TEQs system involves rationing fossil fuel energy use for a nation on the basis of either a contracting carbon emission budget or scarce fuel availability, or both simultaneously, distributing budgets equitably amongst energy-users. Entitlements can be traded to incentivize demand reduction and to maximize efficient use of the limited entitlements. We situate this analysis in the context of Joseph Tainter’s theory about the development and collapse of complex societies. Tainter argues that societies become more socio-politically and technologically ‘complex’ as they solve the problems they face and that such complexification drives increased energy use. For a society to sustain itself, therefore, it must secure the energy needed to solve the range of societal problems that emerge. However, what if, as a result of deep decarbonization, there is less energy available in the future not more? We argue that TEQs offers a practical means of managing energy descent futures. The policy can facilitate controlled reduction of socio-political complexity via processes of ‘voluntary simplification’ (the result being ‘degrowth’ or controlled contraction at the scale of the physical economy). Keywords: Tradable Energy Quotas (TEQs); deep decarbonization; renewable energy; post-carbon; carbon budget; epistemic humility; energy descent; Tainter; voluntary simplification; degrowth 1.

  • Climate Change and Peak Oil an Integrated Strategy for Australia Don’T Blow It – Good Planets Are Hard to Find
    SUSTAINABLE DIRECTIONS CLIMATE CHANGE AND peAK OIL An integrated strategy for Australia Don’t blow it – good planets are hard to find. – Time Climate change and peak oil are inextricably linked, reports IAN T DUNLOP, distinguished chair of the Australian National Wildlife Collection Foundation and former oil, gas and coal industry executive. Rapid agreement, and implementation of measures to prepare for peak oil and to stabilise atmospheric carbon concentrations are urgently needed. Integrated policies, at global and national levels will provide a coherent response to both issues. Reductions of Australia’s emissions of around 90% by 2050, based on equity principles and setting up a system of Tradeable Energy Quotas, and an Oil Depletion Protocol imply fundamental change from current practice altering the lifestyle of the entire community. This article is a summary of his paper, Climate Change and Peak Oil: An Integrated Policy Response for Australia. The core of this strategy is built around the concepts of contraction and convergence developed by Aubrey Meyer, The Global Commons Institute, London, UK (www.gci.org.uk), and Tradeable Energy Quotas (TEQs), developed by David Fleming, The Lean Economy Connection, London, UK (www.teqs.net). The reason for this is they are the simplest, most equitable and practical economic and regulatory options being considered to address the looming convergence of climate change and resource shortages, particularly peak oil. Colin Campbell was responsible for the development of the Oil Depletion Protocol. My thanks to them for persevering with this essential work. Recent reports confirm what has been evident spread over a number of years if, for example, oil for many years.

I have never encountered a book that is so hard to characterise yet so hard, despite its weight, to put down … Its pages span ethics, science, culture, art, and history. I refer to the late David Fleming, whose book Lean Logic has recently been published thanks to the excellent editorship of Shaun Chamberlin, and is garnering all sorts of critical plaudits. Those were the days. Fleming shows us how the future we want really is up to us. His vision could really work, and is already beginning to work in the first Transition Towns and community-building efforts in many parts of the world. And it is wisdom waiting to be discovered.
