Many more are hidden, everyday disasters grinding down the lives of the poor and vulnerable. Very few of these disasters just happen. Most are caused by those who create risk faster than they can mop it up, by those who pursue reckless, unmanaged economic growth that demands ever-increasing manufacture, consumption, building, food production, and energy consumption.

As Gibson shows, it becomes a practical possibility the moment enough of us commit to building a movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854456639724,"sku":"9781350430488","price":43.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/bfada3fab9b70ad45fa94ab06d01b3af.jpg?v=1759269925"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/terry-gibson.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
