Does the word postcapitalism look odd to you? It should, because you hardly ever see it. We have a blank spot in our vision of the future. Perhaps we think that history has somehow gone away. In fact, history is with us now more than ever, because we are at a crux in the human story.
That’s from the conclusion of Kim Stanley Robinson‘s short piece, “Time to end the multigenerational Ponzi scheme“, at What Matters.
If you’ve been following Robinson’s last few books, you’ll know he’s both passionate and extremely knowledgeable about these issues. And this piece can be consumed pretty quickly, but will leave you with things to think about for quite a while.
