Publisher's Synopsis
Post capitalist philanthropy is a paradox in terms. A paradox is the appropriate starting place for the complex, entangled, messy context we find ourselves in as a species.' The authors take us on a journey from the history of wealth accumulation to the current logic of late-stage capitalism - and ultimately to the lived possibilities of other ways of knowing, sensing and being that can usher in life-centric models. This 'ontological shift', as they call it, into new possibilities is at the heart of their work. Creating new-ancient-emerging realities is not simply about how we redistribute wealth or 'fight power', but rather, how we perceive and embody our actions in relationship to a dynamic, animistic world and cosmos. Their book is a result of decades of deep personal inquiry and practice, as well as lifelong engagement with activists, philanthropists, philosophers, social scientists, cosmologists and wisdom keepers. The authors, Alnoor and Lynn, are co-directors of The Transition
