(An excerpt from my old ebook) 'Artful Survival'

marz62

I was reviewing some old writing and serendipitously decided to review my first ebook from 2009 (the Financial Collapse / Great Recession was in full swing at the time I wrote it)...I skipped to the last chapter ('Chaos, Creative Play and Making a New World')...it struck me as still relevant (perhaps more so)...so, I decidedly to republish (just the last chapter) on my Linkedin.com site.

Here's the opening quote (also quite relevant):

“We are suddenly threatened with a liberation that taxes our inner resources of self-employment and imaginative participation in society. This would seem to be a fate that calls individuals to the role of artist in Society.” -- Marshall McLuhan (Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man, 1964)
