    Attempting to Build Community Power Through Energy Democracy - Part 1 (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    I haven’t been publishing as much recently. A primary reason for this is that I’ve noticed a trend in how I’m concluding each piece. It’s usually something about building community, getting offline and doing something in the real world, or getting involved in local initiatives. The more I write these conclusions, which I wholeheartedly believe in, the more of a fraud I feel. I don’t do any of that stuff myself. I’m barely even online at the moment because I struggle with the performative, vapid,

    Why The Car Industry Is Addicted to SUVs (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    We did our first big proper family camp with the baby this summer; which has cost us a significant amount of space in our car.As a result, we’ve been in the market for something a bit bigger; an estate or a small 5-seater van. Ideally plug-in hybrid or full electric. Cue my predictable frustration with the choices available to me on the market. The range of battery-powered estates1, MPVs2 and family-friendly vans has shrunk; in the UK, cons

    The Relativity of Class Part 3: The Wealth Trap (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    I was 20, at university and at my most hedonistic. I’d gone into my second year living in a flat above a McDonald’s in the centre of Liverpool. I’d made some new friends through music and recreational drug use and moved in with them. One of the guys I lived with came from serious money, had lived all over the world and gone to school with the sons of Sheikh's. He boasted about being flown out to Dubai first class and how he and his friends ragged Bugatti’s about the E11 highway in the city. He w

    From Rags to Riches (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    It’s Monday morning. There was a gentle breeze blowing through the patio doors, and birds were singing in the hedgerow at the end of the garden. The susurration of the plants and leaves in the wind reflected the gentle nature of the morning sun. I was cradling my son in the kitchen as he slowly fell asleep to the soporific sway of my body, and Weathervane by Hunter Metts filled the room. Lisdexamfetamine was hitting my bloodstream, conspiring with the endorphins from my morning walk to force sal

    Structural Adjustment Programmes Part 3 - Ghana (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Last time, in Part 2, we looked at Mexico, where I highlighted how Mexico’s indigenous demographic, rural peasants and working class were forgotten as Mexico moved into a new economic paradigm. For Part 3 we go to Sub-Saharan Africa, to take a look at how Structural Adjustment Programmes affected Ghana, its working class, and in particular how Structural Adjustment Programmes reshaped Ghana’s state. Ghana is heralded by the IMF and the World Bank as a SAP success story. On pape
