PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Paddy Le Flufy earned a degree in mathematics at Cambridge University and qualified as an accountant at KPMG in London. He then spent years living something of a double life. He worked as a finance specialist in London for six months at a time, but he used his money to live in remote places, alongside people whose lives were drastically different from his own. He has travelled with economic migrants, been taught to fish by rural Mozambicans, and lived with Hadza hunter-gatherers. He spent two months living with an indigenous tribe in the Amazon rainforest, then won a Royal Geographical Society Award to spend an entire year being taught by traditional wisdom-keepers from another jungle culture. Since 2015, Paddy has been based in the UK, researching how we can redesign our economic system to avert the impending environmental catastrophe. This book is the result.
'This important book demonstrates inspiring, practical innovations already being implemented and shows how, together, they can weave an entirely new fabric for society.' Jeremy Lent, author of The Patterning Instinct and The Web of Meaning 'Building Tomorrow is exactly what my students are looking for: multiple examples of solutions and strategies for... building a new economy within planetary boundaries. I really look forward to sharing the examples Paddy explores with my students.' Prof Julia Steinberger, University of Lausanne 'A great read for anyone wanting to learn about better ways to organise our economy and make a transformative change towards sustainability.' Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett, co-authors of The Spirit Level and The Inner Level 'A treasure-trove of ideas for practical world-changers. Our world now desperately needs guardians for its future: Le Flufy's book offers key elements of a greenprint for how such guardianship might be achieved, even yet.' Prof. Rupert Read, author of Why climate breakdown matters and Co-Director of the Moderate Flank 'Building Tomorrow is an invaluable synthesis of radical ideas that should be common sense. Le Flufy clarifies concepts that I have seen floating around for years but didn't fully understand until reading him. This clarity is a powerful step toward achieving the world we need.' Prof Nathan Schneider, author of Everything for Everyone: The Radical Tradition that Is Shaping the Next Economy 'It's such a relief - and a wonder - to engage with real, deep, granular thinking on exactly how we create systemic change...a coherent imagining of a future that runs by different rules... Essential reading for everyone who needs to know how we move forward.' Manda Scott, author and host of the Accidental Gods podcast
