REVIEWS
What do people do while living between historical periods? They talk about the past and try to imagine the future. This book by Vadim Makhov is invaluable precisely because it represents a collection of timely reflections, an attempt to give a prologue to a new historical period. The central point of the book, as I see it, is search for the meaning of social and biological evolution and for answers to questions of concern to all of us: what change will occur next, what new things will happen to us? To answer these questions, the author puts forward what I have called ‘the Makhov hypothesis’.

This is truly a big-idea book that is, at the same time, free from distorting and juggling facts. Vadim has created a unique body of knowledge about humanity, seen through the prism of his original ‘lucky clover’ theory, which can be disputed as rather ambiguous, but cannot be denied grace.

The New Local Economy
|
Apple, Starbucks, Zara, McDonald’s – these are some of the brands and companies that are at the forefront of today’s global economy. They are embedded in virtually every city and town. But when the global economy goes wrong (as in 2008), it can leave local communities vulnerable in the form of unemployment and bankruptcy. This forward-looking book argues for the creation of local economies as a means of resisting the seismic changes that globalization often brings, especially in times of crisis. Moreover, research shows that for every £100 spent in a local shop, 45% will remain in the community (compared with only 15% if spent in retail chains such as Tesco or Aldi). As part of the design of the future, Elmark argues for the need to break up the global economy into local economies, so that communities can regain their independence and be less exposed to the tide of globalization. |
