I agree on the #GreenTransition but disagree on the larger point.
The model is broken, not because it is top-down, rather because it is an exploitative/extractive model designed to consolidate wealth in the hands of untaxed oligarchs.
The post-war world shows the tremendous potential of top down economics, when focused on growing the middle class and raising those in poverty.
We should focus on rebuilding that, rather than delegate decisions to even weaker "local" bodies.
