Ashish Kothari has a new article in Scientific American entitled “These Alternative Economies Are Inspirations for a Sustainable World,” in which he talks about efforts on the ground to build alternatives to corporate globalization and how they outline a path forward.
As Kothari argues, “To walk away from the cliff edge of irreversible destabilization of the biosphere, I believe we must enable alternative structures, such as those of the Dalit farmers, the Quechua conservers and the Lisbon volunteers, to flourish and link up into a tapestry that ultimately covers the globe.”
