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 excerptSecond excerpt.
