Abstract

The article discusses the systemic roots of the converging crises facing the world today, particularly focusing on the climate crisis and ecological overshoot. It emphasizes the need for transformative change in economic and political systems to address these issues. The article also highlights the accumulation of wealth among the top 1% and record military spending as indicators that the world is moving in the wrong direction. It suggests that restoring the common good and rebuilding communities are essential for creating a more sustainable and equitable future. The article proposes leveraging local and subnational governments, creating community assemblies, and establishing public banking systems as strategies for transformative change.
