Feasta has published its new book, Fleeing Vesuvius: Overcoming the risks of economic and environmental collapse.  Their most important book to date, it draws together many of the ideas Feasta members have developed over the years and applies them to a single question - how can we bring the world out of the mess in which it finds itself?

Fleeing Vesuvius confronts this mess squarely, analysing its many aspects: the looming scarcity of essential resources such as fossil fuels - the lifeblood of the world economy; the financial crisis in Ireland and elsewhere; the collapse of the housing bubble; the urgent need for food security; and the enormous challenge of dealing with climate change.
