Building A Better Economy And Politics: How To Fix Our Broken Democracy: The Market System (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798544371588)

So many people are feeling, and with good reason, that things are spinning out of control on any number of different fronts, and that the ramifications of the various crises, or mega-crisis, that now confront us will be direr for ourselves and for our children than we can even begin to envision. We are like the proverbial frog in the vat of water that slowly allows itself to be burned to death as the heat is slowly turned up. The author's insights and compilations make quite clear that the heat is being turned up on our species and our planet's ability to sustain us a whole lot faster than we had thought. He's very clear and compelling illustrations of what we are facing amount to a planetary wake-up call, and a very accurate assessment of not only what threatens us, but what precludes our taking concerted and effective action so as to mitigate these threats. He offers concrete proposals for us to consider in order to overcome both the threats and the systemic inhibitors that have prevented us from addressing them heretofore.
