Just finished No is Not Enough by Naomi Klein ... thoughts

in #books7 years ago

Naomi Klein's book "No is Not Enough" fits well with the cryptocurrency vision—taking the power away from banks and other financial institutions and middlemen, and distributing it to the people who actually own the money/currency.

In the book, Klein shares The Leap Manifesto, a vision for a more just, inclusive, and lateral society centred on caretaking and community over power and wealth. It's pretty idealistic, but maybe that's what we need right now.
One of my favourite quotes:
“If we rebuild our communities and begin to derive more meaning and a sense of the good life from them, many of us are going to be less susceptible to the siren song of mindless consumerism (and while we're at it, we might even spend less time producing and editing our personal brands on social media).”
