Thanks David, I'd love to hear your reactions. And your thoughts about how it interacts with the other things you've been reading on US industrialization. That sounds fascinating!
Thank you for this. One thought that emerges is how low-value "waste"/"degraded" land can quickly become sites of habitation and co-stewardship through successional forestry integrated with human life, and through hyperlocal open-loop production of energy and materials. In other words, when a frictionless path forms between "waste" and "abundance", the value equation is inverted and the momentum of history can begin to be disarmed.
Any chance the audiobook version will be available in Australia anytime soon? I'll buy the hard copy if not - sounds fantastic, and can form our work here to establish an Agrarian Trust.
This looks terrific, Mike! I've been reading Michael Huston, Christopher Clark, et al., on the centrality of US land distribution on the emergence and shape of US industrialization, among other consequences, so am completely persuaded in advance on the value of this approach. Many say it in an offhand manner, but I truly do look forward to reading the book! I know it had involved a ton of research and cogitation to bring it forth. Congratulations!
