The Homebrew Industrial Revolution: A Low-Overhead Manifesto
Over the past several months, on the kind invitation of Michel Bauwens, I have been serializing chapters from my recently published book The Homebrew Industrial Revolution: A Low-Overhead Manifesto. As stated in the product description at Amazon, the book is
A history of the rise and fall of Sloanist mass production, and a survey of the new economy emerging from the ruins: networked local manufacturing, garage industry, household microenterprises and resilient local economies.
Below are the excerpts to date, which go through the first five of the seven chapters:
Chapter One: A Wrong Turn. First excerpt. Second excerpt.
Chapter Two: Moloch–The Anatomy of Sloanist Mass Production. First excerpt. Second excerpt.
Chapter Three: Babylon is Fallen. First excerpt. Second excerpt. Third excerpt.
Chapter Four: Back to the Future. One excerpt.
Chapter Five: The Small Workshop, Desktop Manufacturing, and Household Production. First excerpt. Second excerpt.
Chapter Six: Resilient Communities and Local Economies. First excerpt.
