Synopsis

The ideas in this book can save the world

Hierarchical structures left over from our feudal past - governments, bureaucracies, monopolies, armies – still order our world today. Their salient feature is that they all value their own survival ahead of the general good. This compels them to use the commons destructively. They create crises but cannot resolve them. This is not a promising survival strategy.

There is another way. Structures based on individual empowerment and designed to encourage self-organization can connect our personal beliefs in a responsible manner to the unfolding future of our world. They are straightforward to create if we want them.


We can deny this truth until the heat waves, storms, fires, droughts, and wars that are the fruits of these crises force change upon us or we can take our future into our own hands and choose this option now.


War CAN become unthinkable

Work CAN become our servant rather than a master

Striking inequality CAN transform into an equal world

Our daily activities CAN be healing to the earth
