Summary
Tom Llewellyn, Executive Director of Shareable, explores the power of Libraries of Things, mutual aid, and community-run infrastructure as practical alternatives to extraction-based economics. Llewellyn explains how tool libraries, repair cafés, and sharing hubs help communities reduce waste, lower costs, and build resilience. from rural towns to dense cities, from disaster recovery to everyday life. Together, Rushkoff and Llewellyn unpack why sharing is framed as a threat to capitalism, how libraries became our most trusted public institutions, and why real economic security comes from relationships, not growth charts. The conversation centers on Shareable’s newly released Library of Things Toolkit, a hands-on guide for anyone asking the question Team Human hears most often: What can I do right now? If you’re looking for concrete ways to rebuild community, resist planned obsolescence, and move from critique to action, you've come to the right place.
