Summary

"Our problems are global and interconnected, and our solutions must be too. With over seventy contributors, Beautiful Solution spotlights the collective wisdom that reminds us that another world is not only possible, it's already under construction. Everything we need to transform our communities already exists. From food sovereignty to debt abolition, from folk schools to energy democracy -- and from Argentina to Zimbabwe. If you long for a more beautiful, more just, and more livable world -- and want to know how to get there -- this book is for you" --
