From Disaster Capitalism to Bioregional Finance and Anti-Fragility -- What Are the Asheville Floods and LA Fires Teaching us?
From Disaster Capitalism to Bioregional Finance and Anti-Fragility -- What Are the Asheville Floods and LA Fires Teaching us?
Live session discussing bioregional strategies for disaster areas, focusing on Asheville, North Carolina and Los Angeles, California in the USA.
From the website "In this BioFi Community of Practice Field Building call, we'll hear from bioregional organizers in both Asheville and LA about how they are responding to disaster, what they are learning about how response and recovery resources can be directed according to regenerative patterns and principles, and how these shocks can catalyze investment in anti-fragile bioregional regeneration strategies, rather than create vacuums for disaster capitalism and fragile redevelopment. For exploration of the phenomenon of "Disaster Capitalism", consider consulting Naomi Klein's 2007 book The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism, or any associated talks. "
