Lives well-lived’ in a time of transition “Where’s the world heading?” “How

Martin Kirk and Sterling College President Matthew Derr for a three-day
course exploring what ‘lives well-lived’ look like in this time of

As the market economy continues to crumble under the weight of its own
impossible need for perpetual growth, we should admit that for all its
destructiveness, we will miss its essential simplicity, the comforts it
delivers to many and the freedoms it underwrites. And as capitalism’s
former largesse continues to shrink away, that future is becoming daily
reality for ever more of us.

"I refer to Surviving the Future as my Bible, in that it brings me solace
and helps me to understand the world and my place in it.
I look through its passages and dog-eared pages and it explains to me why
I’m thinking this way; why I feel this way. It’s loose, accessible and
funny, and yet deeply true.
It reminds me, through the language that is unique to David Fleming, why
I’m really motivated, often, to get up in the morning. This work is so
central to what I believe is necessary."
