Dan Bruiger, Author/Publisher of Left Field Press on Hornby Island, BC writes this customer review about Left Field Press. "Much has been gained by treating nature as inert, passive, and a mere product of human definitions. Our technological civilization is grounded on that premise—as well as on oil—but it is arguably crumbling, in step with diminishing fossil fuels. A subtle reflection of this attitude toward nature is the attitude of the western world toward manufacturing, which is the literal imposing of idea upon matter. Why are most of our goods now made in China, India, or other “societies in transition”? First of all, of course, because of the wage differential. But doesn’t this valuation of the bottom line, and the corresponding willingness to accept shoddy goods, reflect something deeper? Doesn’t it say that we’ve embraced mechanism so thoroughly that “the economy” is regarded by all classes as an automated machine for making money? But money is not wealth. Wherever globalism has displaced the more natural process of locally creating real wealth from materials, labor, and services, what is left is an investment economy, which merely moves virtual credits from one basket to another, with a liberal application of sticky fingers. This independence from real creativity is illusory in the way that independence from nature is illusory. It provides only a short-sighted and temporary advantage, since the emerging nations will eventually supercede us or exhaust the planet trying to. The unreality of globalism, as a final theory of economics, reflects the unreality of nature according to a science that believes itself on the verge of a final Theory of Everything." [excerpted from the introduction to a forthcoming book by Dan Bruiger, The Made and the Found, in preparation.]
