If you have a copy, I recommend that you don't wait. I really enjoyed this. It always helps, when someone's views are very much in line with the reader but, I learned so much and, rather than putting me into purchasing another book, this has lead me to another tome which has been sitting on my shelf for some time, urging me to allow it to fulfil its primary function. Wouldn't it be nice if the world wasn't so mean? I agree with the author despite not sharing his Liberal opinions. We agree on the process but differ in the prediction of what it would result in. I think we are unlikely to find out unfortunately. We are stuck on this local maximum of the political system landscape and can't find our way out. This is a brilliant book, one of the best of the year. Smart, visionary analysis of the current problem, discussion of neoliberalism, of progressive values and principles and the need to create a story that includes the principles we as progressives embrace. I loved the hour plus interview I did with George. Thanks to Goodreads and the publisher for a free copy of Out of the Wreckage! In the context of today’s politics, it can be hard to consider current events or the way that we’re headed. But with well-researched, well-cited details to back him up, George Monbiot presents an optimistic possible future. I appreciate the psychological studies referenced... but more than that, I appreciate the appeal to the better parts of human nature. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"A thrilling new route to a better society A toxic ideology of extreme competition and individualism has come to dominate our world. It misrepresents human nature, destroying hope and common purpose. Only a positive vision can replace it, a new story that re-engages people in politics and lights a path to a better future. George Monbiot shows how new findings in psychology, neuroscience and evolutionary biology cast human nature in a radically different light: as the supreme altruists and cooperators. He shows how we can build on these findings to create a new politics: a "politics of belonging." Both democracy and economic life can be radically reorganized from the bottom up, enabling us to take back control and overthrow the forces that have thwarted our ambitions for a better society. Urgent and passionate, Out of the Wreckage provides the hope and clarity required to change the world"--
"Maps a thrilling new route to a better society: the political story that will replace the failed narratives wrecking our world. Today, our lives are dominated by an ideology of extreme competition and individualism. This misrepresents human nature, destroys hope and common purpose. But we cannot replace it without a positive vision, one that re-engages people in politics and lights a path to a better world. George Monbiot explains how communities can be rebuilt, with the help of a new "politics of belonging". He shows how to rescue politics through a radical redesign of elections and political rules, coupled with novel forms of direct democracy. A new economic model will allow communities to own their crucial resources and give people control of public investment, beyond the market or the state. This vision can be realised through spectacular new models of political organising, that overcome established power through mutual aid, operating on a grand scale. Urgent, and passionate, Out of the Wreckage provides the hope and purpose required to change the world"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Monbiot moves a bit beyond the bounds of journalism into making future visions. And while this is a left leaning proposal but many of the basic tenets should even cross the line. ( )
