I'd be surprised if you haven't heard that this Friday is the end of the Mayan calendar. Whether you believe the world will end or not, it’s given many an excuse to reflect on where the human project is and where it should be headed. My friends at New Society Publishers are doing exactly that kind of reflection through a blog carnival.

Occupy Wall Street broke a silence. What was long only whispered between friends was shouted from the centers of hundreds of cities across the globe — that a grand economic experiment has failed. A gaping chasm has opened up between the rich and the rest, and citizens no longer believe that widespread prosperity will be achieved through the growth-centered economic policies of decades past. Moreover, these policies also mean ecological suicide. Thus, Occupy Wall Street signals the beginning of the end for the troubled experiment that was prosperity through growth.

Below are all the stories in Shareable's anthology, Share or Die: Voices of the Get Lost Generation in the Age of Crisis. Our anthology is two years in the making with most of the stories commissioned by Shareable specifically for the book. The stories are largely by young adults to help young adults gain perspective on their situation in today's world and find paths out of economic precarity.

After two action-packed years with Shareable, Milicent Johnson, our dynamic and inspirational community manager, is headed in new directions.

She spent her last day with us recently. And we're celebrating her contributions to Shareable tonight 5:00-7:30pm at Mr. Smiths (34 7th Street, San Francisco).  If you're nearby, please join us!
