I may not always read the book, but I really want to hear the conversations about the topics and all the ideas that come out!

Let’s schedule when to do Session #1. I think late afternoon / early evening on the Thu or Fri after the May GOAT Community Call, so May 16 or 17 would be perfect. It gives us some time to read plus an opportunity to remind/inform ppl just prior. But here’s a very broad LettuceMeet that covers a broader range in case that doesn’t work for everyone:
During or after that we can schedule Session #2 based on how it goes, and work out a more regular schedule when we find something that works.

I’ll have to miss Book Club 1 because too many things + going out of town on a float trip on the later dates. I’ll join for the second session hopefully

I think the 2024-05-18T18:00:00Z will be the time for Session 1. I’m going to start a new topic for that date and will add it to the GOAT Calendar as well.

For anyone still following this thread, I just posted the recommended readings for Session 2 taking place Sun, Aug 18 at 7pm Eastern / 4pm Pacific:
The topic is “The Commons” and we’ll be reading selections from Elinor Ostrom and Silvia Federici. Hope to see you there!

Reviving this just to say I’m 2 chapters into the audiobook version of Technofeudalism by Yanus Varoufaki (read by the author). Wasn’t really expecting it, but so far it is very good!

I’ve been reading the recently released book titled Abundance by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson. They start the book demonstrate how the Democratic Party has been operating from a lens of scarcity, how it wasn’t successful, and provides an alternative lens/pathway of green energy abundance. They advocate for innovative solutions to housing, energy, and infrastructure challenges by rethinking regulations and embracing large-scale progress. Definitely an interesting listen/read so far. Has anybody else dipped their toe in this one?
