“Another world is possible – indeed, it is absolutely necessary – but we will need the imagination, the will, and the collaboration required to realize it within our lifetimes. We must move beyond simply criticizing and rejecting the suicidal economics of the past, and instead find our way forward to a new, local, regenerative economics. We must find a way of organizing economic activity that replenishes rather than depletes social capital and natural capital. The future is in our hands, if we are bold enough to recognize the lessons that have already been learned across various Transition Town initiatives, and if we are wise enough to apply them on even more ambitious and inspiring scales. By adopting innovative financing instruments like G-TANs [Greek Tax Anticipation Notes], Greece’s new government could lead the way for other eurozone countries to the build Transition Nations from the rubble left behind by a half decade of misguided and malignant austerity policies.”
