Costas Lapavitsas has cited David Harvey many times in his last work. Greece has many brilliant Marxian economists.

37:50 David called himself a radically anti-capitalist but I can assure you, I've seen business experts in my country that are noticeably more ant-capitalist in that regard than him. Still, there's a lot of common points in their discussions, especially in the part of this enclosed school of modern capitalism. And they, too, struggling to discover new ideas about new ways to get out of the crisis situation, which does not seem to get any better in recent years.

I have been decarbonizing my life for the past 7 years and it has lead me to applying degrowth strategies and required me to voluntarily live on $10,000 US/ yr. i produce 75% of my own food, grow the resources I need to heat my home, I live in rural America and gave up owning assets car, large appliances, a home, etc. I participate in, educate about, and build cooperatives social relationships and will not work for anything less than a Worker Self Directed Enterprise. I still consume more than my fair share of resources

the design science of Permaculture is the only ethically based design science, that relies also on indigenous wisdom and Appropriate Technologies vs technotopias. we are a world wide scientifically based self organizing and self educating (via non competitive educational structures and methodologies) Movement of regionally based, action oriented, folks striving to create social system based on use values.

would be interesting to hear your views on the idea of Bioregionalism. the redrawing of political boundaries based on geographical boundaries, is watersheds. Charles Eisenstein's idea of the Gift Economy is also revolutionizing many of us and our sense of Class Consciousness
