“Before Covid-19, Riane Eisler’s world was big, really big. Best known for her 1987 book The Chalice and the Blade: Our History, Our Future, the social scientist/futurist/attorney/thinker/writer has made a career of traveling the globe, attending conferences and speaking. Her books are blurbed by the likes of Isabel Allende, Jane Goodall, Desmond Tutu and former Icelandic president Vigdís Finnbogadóttir. She coined the term “human infrastructure” that’s now the center of politics and President Joe Biden’s plans.
