Summary: Global warming and peak oil have posed the imminent crisis in capitalism globally. However, most political activists appear to be unaware of the extent, the inter connectedness and the immediacy of the crisis. There seems to be a vague but definite collective subconscious that all is not well, and that, the system is breaking down. Every crisis of capitalism opens the possibility of far reaching changes. The transition through which, could be ordered or chaotic. Those societies that are prepared with an alternative have better chances of an ordered transition. Today, Cuba is best prepared for such a transition. This book is an attempt to present; in as simple and straight forward a way as possible, the present crisis. It also offers some solutions that the author believes will help Indians, activists in particular, to prepare for such a transition. The book is divided in three parts. The first educates the reader on the nature of the problem, the second is a vision document for a fossil fuel free future and the third contains practical ideas for action.
