[WSMDiscuss] Fwd: "Stopping the machines of socio-ecological destruction and building alternative worlds"

[Jai Sen]

Wednesday, March 13, 2019

 

Greetings, Ashish, Ariel, and Rapha – the three on the Working Group that I happen to have the privilege of knowing –

            Without having as yet had a chance to look through your essay or the book in which it is also the concluding essay, this is just a note of great excitement, on downloading and glancing at them, to warmly congratulate all of you on putting your minds together and coming up with these thoughts at this stage in history.  And to also congratulate the Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung for supporting and perhaps even initiating this project.

Knowing some of the work that each of you has done – and also Edgardo Lander’s -, I am really sincerely hoping that your essay and the book do comprehensively address the larger interconnecting questions - and crises - that we today face, which is so urgently necessary. 

            With warm greetings, and with hope !

 

            Jai

PS : I am also copying this reply on other lists, so that even more people get to know of this work !
