Care where no one does— Freek Lomme

Urging a grassroots style based on activist engagement, entrepreneurship, design, and more, this book offers opposing perspectives on independent, progressive cultural production stemming from small, sustainable, and growing initiatives. It champions a truly liberal-minded exchange, transitioning from neoliberal capitalism into the era of national conservatism.

Something in-between a collection of columns, a pamphlet, and a bundle of essays, it considers formal frameworks and cultures for an independent, truthful undercurrent to rise.

The rhetorical facade of technocratic capitalism, as constructed by politics, marketing, the invisible hand of the electorate, and more, will be criticized and and put into perspective in relation to its goal: the needs of progressive cultural production.

The book offers no evidence but shares experiences and perspectives with analytical support, which equally lends a rhetorical style to be distrusted. It could speak to anyone interested in mobilizing energy to change the hegemony and may equally appeal to people interested in civil society and democracy. The book hopes to spark a different economy of production: one based on trust and engagement wherever possible!
