The End of Illusion?
by Rob Riendeau
A Conversation with Mike Nickerson
We’ve all been exposed to the reactionary, hand-wringing media reports on the “economic downturn.” So it was a refreshing break to read Mike Nickerson’s latest article The Upside of an Economic Downturn when it showed up in my email inbox. Afterwards, I decided that it was high time to sit down and pick Mike’s brain on the topic of global economic issues and people’s ability to respond locally.
theHumm: When I first read Life, Money & Illusion it seemed that the ideas weren’t really in the mainstream. Talking to people about the themes in the book was difficult.
Mike Nickerson: They weren’t as interested then; now they want to know. That’s definitely a change.
