It presents concepts and their connections to current society; visions of what can be in a preferred, participatory future; and an examination of the ends and means required for developing a just society. Neither shying away from the complexity of human issues, nor reeking of dogmatism, \u003cem\u003ePractical Utopia\u003c\/em\u003e presupposes only concern for humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart one offers conceptual tools for understanding society and history, for discerning the nature of the oppressions people suffer and the potentials they harbor. Part two promotes a vision for a better way of organizing economy, polity, kinship, culture, ecology, and international relations. It is not a blueprint, of course, but does address the key institutions needed if people are to be free to determine their own circumstances. Part three investigates the means of seeking change using a variety of tactics and programs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Albert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 162963381X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781629633817\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e PM Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Michael Albert","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50779018133759,"sku":"9781629633817","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_78b4be93-cfda-4f9e-a43d-5a09a76decf6.jpg?v=1792943954","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/practical-utopia-michael-albert-9781629633817","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
