Description
George Monbiot's Manifesto for a New World Order offers a plan for transforming the world into a decent place for all. The current system, in which the rich get richer while the poor are overtaken by debt and disaster, is unsustainable. Without democracy at the global level, those who make key decisions - including executives who control war, peace, debt, development, and trade - operate outside of public scrutiny. Monbiot proposes a world parliament as a means to bring about change, along with fairer trade practices and ways for underdeveloped nations to leverage their debt to secure real reform. This book provides a detailed vision for how power can be captured from those who are unfit to hold it, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring alternative systems of governance. By examining the possibilities for a more democratic world, Monbiot's Manifesto for a New World Order offers a thought-provoking and realistic guide to creating a better future.
