Thought Provoking Resources from our CL in Wales


Hi Everyone, 

The always-active Paul Swann wrote in some time ago to share what he's up to in Wales (sorry to be slow to share, Paul!)

Paul writes:  "I was preparing for a presentation, having been invited to speak about caring economics at a meeting on "co-production" next month. But as I dug deeper I ended up disappearing down the rabbit hole!

Having shared the outline for part 1 of the presentation with the organiser, we agreed that I should delay presenting until the following meeting when I'll have more time to open up a conversation afterwards (there was only 15 minutes available next month). Working title is "Capitalism, Class and the Crisis of Civilisation".

When I've compiled a list of resources I'll forward it to you...but in the meantime I do suggest you check out Susan Rosenthal's book "Power & Powerlessness" which is available for free download here:


There's also an audio recording of the book here:


Another fantastic free resource is the documentary movie "The Crisis of Civilisation", based on a book of the same name by Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed:


As you'll see, the first chapter of the book (on climate change) can be downloaded, as can the documentary itself, either as a torrent or from youtube: http://youtu.be/pMgOTQ7D_lk

More in due course..."

Thanks so much for the resources Paul - and do let us know how the conversation went when it finally occurred!

- Sara
