Surviving the Future offers a concise, front-to-back narrative drawn from David Fleming’s intricate work Lean Logic. Shaun Chamberlin has distilled Fleming’s four hundred interlinked entries into an accessible paperback that explores a post-market economy rooted in culture, carnival and capital.

Fleming envisions a world beyond endless growth, where community obligations, creativity and shared rituals replace cutthroat competition. Drawing on figures from Keynes to Shiva and Shakespeare to Schumacher, he shows how humor, conversation and the arts can form the backbone of a sustainable society.

Readers will find:

• A clear roadmap to a post-growth economics
• A blend of scholarly insight and engaging storytelling
• Practical ideas for building resilient communities
• Inspiration from diverse intellectual traditions

With charm and wit, Surviving the Future turns idealism into a realistic vision for life after market collapse, reminding us that “there will be time for music.”
