Ruth Glendinning, Kent Dahlgren, and Trudy Martinez are bringing forth an Anti-Fragile Playbook; a step-by-step guide for those seeking to deliver a self-funded economic revival that addresses the root causes of generational poverty and trauma, and are concurrently launching a "living laboratory" launched within their own neighborhood.
And this week, a "once a generation snowstorm" demonstrated the merit of the anti-fragile model, accelerating the project dramatically, thanks to an explicit embrace and investment in various forms of soft capital.
Let's elaborate upon this just a little, because it's important.
The Anti-Fragile Wealth Production Model delivers a self-funded economic stimulus, using money that normally remains "under the table," and activating locally-sourced leadership to eventually deliver social services ordinarily expected from centralized governments, inclusive to:
But close to the ground, where it's of greatest value and addressing the greatest need, utilizing a model that dramatically offsets operating expenses, using an innovative micro-economy that rewards the community for buying and producing locally.
There's a reason we've chosen to invest in a foundation of anti-fragility, vs mere resiliency: resilient systems maintain current state, but an anti-fragile system is one that profits from external and internal stresses that would bring an insufficiently resilient system to its knees.
It's for this reason Ruth and Kent have invested so deeply in an explicit embrace of various forms of soft capital, which boasts a value transcendent of forms of hard capital (normally known as money).
Therefore, when the system came to a standstill, and a deterioration of top-down services resulted in a humanitarian disaster, the anti-fragile "living laboratory" evolved quickly.
Is this communism?
No, as discussed in a prior podcast, and detailed in an accompanying article.
