520 We need our neighbors and community to stay healthy,
produce jobs, raise our children, and care for those on
the margin. Institutions and professional services have
reached their limit of their ability to help us. The
consumer society tells us that we are insufficient and
that we must purchase what we need from specialists and
systems outside the community. We have become consumers
and clients, not citizens and neighbors. John McKnight and
Peter Block show that we have the capacity to find real
and sustainable satisfaction right in our neighborhood and
community. This book reports on voluntary, self-organizing
structures that focus on gifts and value hospitality, the
welcoming of strangers. It shows how to reweave our social
fabric, especially in our neighborhoods. In this way we
collectively have enough to create a future that works for
all.
