About Fleeing Vesuvius 2

The Fleeing Vesuvius 2 Project is a blog post series starting in Spring 2025.
Feasta has been sounding the alarm on the risks of economic and environmental systemic crises for over 25 years, including the publication of Fleeing Vesuvius in book and online form in 2010 and 2011.  Now, 15 years later, several Feasta members and friends are revisiting that analysis, and adding to it as a "sequel" of sorts.  The same disclaimers on all Feasta blog posts apply: that the opinions expressed are those of the writer only and do not apply to other members of Feasta or to the organization as a whole. Due to the political nature of some posts here, some authors in this series may post anonymously.
