Jem Bendell presents a dense analysis of multiple cross-disciplinary studies clearly demonstrating that societal breakdown is already proceeding apace throughout the world.  This is not just due to Global Heating but also due to an irresponsible extractive economy, the refusal to consider the precautionary principle, the lack of attention to sane health care measures world-wide, and on and on and on.

The collapse of modern societies has already begun. That is the conclusion of two years of research by the interdisciplinary team behind Breaking Together. How did it come to this? Because monetary systems caused us to harm each other and nature to such an extent it broke the foundations of our societies. So what can we do? This book describes people allowing the full pain of our predicament to liberate them into living more courageously and creatively. They demonstrate we can be breaking together, not apart, in this era of collapse. Jem Bendell argues that reclaiming our freedoms is essential to soften the fall and regenerate the natural world.
