The article discusses the concept of localism as a solution to the world's problems, such as climate change, inequality, and political polarization.

The author argues that localism can provide a powerful new framework for solving pressing problems and offers a radically hopeful politics. The article outlines four principles of localism: 1. The Imperative of Action: addressing problems locally and immediately, without waiting for higher levels of government. 2. Subsidiarity: holding power primarily at the local level, with higher levels of government intervening only when necessary. 3. Partnership: finding partners to serve local needs, including other communities and higher levels of government. 4. Tolerance: appreciating that every community is different and allowing them to make their own choices, as long as they respect basic human rights. The article also outlines ten principles for successful local economies, including local ownership, local investment, self-reliance, placemaking, participatory democracy, human scale, regeneration, worker fairness, entrepreneurship, and connectivity. The author acknowledges concerns about localism, such as the potential for injustices and pollution, but argues that these can be addressed through stronger governance at the local level and subsidiarity. The article concludes by suggesting that localism can provide a way to channel the energy of nationalist and populist movements constructively and that national governments should begin ceding authority to support localization.
