Power — why giving it up might just save humanity and the planet
In this video, Richard Heinberg talks about his new book, Power: Limits and Prospects for Human Survival. Power traces how humans have come to overpower the earth's natural systems and to oppress one another, with catastrophic consequences. We must rapidly re-learn the lessons of power self-limitation rooted in evolution and human history if we are to stave off ecological and social collapse and enjoy a thriving future.
