The author explores the concept of polycrisis, arguing that multiple crises expose the limits of industrial and colonial worldviews, which oversimplify complex systems into controllable models. The author proposes an adaptive political economy that embraces complexity, values local knowledge, and fosters decentralized innovation, advocating for dynamic, bottom-up processes driven by experimentation and collaboration.
