J.T. Ross Jackson is an entrepreneur, environmental activist, philanthropist, venture capitalist, operations researcher, author and a long-time critic of neoliberalism.
He is the co-founder and major funder, for over thirty years, of the Global Ecovillage Network and sister organization Gaia Education and has for many years supported a multitude of sustainability/ regenerative projects in well over 50 countries.
This new website is focused particularly on Ross’ ideas concerning the intermediate-term destiny of human civilization. In particular, he deals quite concretely with the global and national governance institutions and government policies required in a future global society that is in balance environmentally, socially and economically.
Ross has written two books on this subject, Occupy Word Street (2012) and his new book THE BAD NEWS & THE GOOD NEWS (2024). The former deals with the international aspects, the latter with the national aspects.
Ross plans to follow up publication of his newest book with geopolitical blogs/podcasts/videos on current affairs from time to time and how they tie in with his vision for the longer term evolution of our civilization.
THE BAD NEWS & THE GOOD NEWS
The BAD NEWS is that our civilization is hard-wired for collapse, THE GOOD NEWS is that a collapse is not the end of the world.
The first half of the book discusses The Economics of Collapse – pointing out that the success or failure of a civilization is determined entirely by its economic premises. The contemporary one was doomed to failure by three fatal flaws.
The second half of the book discusses The Birth of a Regenerative Society – proposing relevant policies and institutions for a successor civilization that prioritizes living within the annual yield of nature.
