Finding the death record of someone who died in the UK can be relatively straight forward or it can be challenging. Before you begin to search, it is helpful to have the name of the person for whom you are searching, the approximate date of death, and where in the UK that person died.
David Fleming was an iconoclast in a time when orthodox thinking reasserted suffocating control. When many major environmental voices had, in effect, decided to ‘go with the flow’, accept the mainstream economy, and do their best to make it greener, David Fleming went the other way.

At the risk of simplification, the core argument of Fleming’s work may perhaps be presented as follows: Culture, he argues, is best manifested within small-scale, resilient, diverse communities: ‘Community is culture’s habitat’ (Lean Logic: 87). A crude summary of Fleming’s thesis might be presented as follows: 1. A crash of the present market-base...
Many books and writings on sustainability offer detailed criticisms of the contemporary market-based growth economy and society. Often however, they can be less successful in delineating a clear alternative. Fleming, by contrast, presents quite a detailed picture of a new, post-crash, community-based society.

He does not conform easily to simple categorisation. New thinking requires new modes of expression that seem at first instance strange and challenging. Hence, perhaps, ...
Let me conclude with some questions. These are not so much criticisms as thoughts or responses raised by Fleming’s work. These are tentative as I’m conscious that one ought to inhabit the great reaches of Lean Logicfor some time before presuming to critique it. Fleming’s reliance on the community leaves him open to the charge often made of communit...

The truly new cannot be expressed – the alien language...
