The spiritual crisis of humanity and the endless struggle
From Europe to the world, it is time to break the chains of weariness and rise to the challenge of our times. The future of humanity depends on it.
The capitalist endgame that is being played out in Greece – and Europe more broadly – is a microcosm of the challenges facing humanity as a whole.

Social consciousness is an integral part of this new urban activism. One of the speakers at the Tactical Urbanism event, which was held in Long Island City's Flux Factory, was Chiara Camponeschi, founder of an online urbanist resource called The Enabling City. Camponeschi documents grassroots urban innovations from tool-lending libraries to food redistribution programs to the salvage of neglected spaces. Read Full Article Here | Grist
