In episode two of Civic Revolution, we sift for clues in our past that shape the future. Throughout our history, we have been converting energy from one form to another and changing the world around us in remarkable new ways. We have lived by the stories we are told, and reshape the world by the new stories we tell.

Taken together, we see how these clues point towards a civic revolution where we have the opportunity to create something better and mend the links between people and place that have been broken.

Adapted from the original book, Civic Revolution, and narrated by its author, Ric Casale.
