A Community Manifesto (earthscan Paperback)

For many, globalization is pushing us to the edge of disaster--an onward march of blinkered vision, encouraging passivity, moral blindness and dependence on being serviced. Civilizations fail when they become trapped in a way of looking at the world that no longer works.A Community Manifesto offers a new way of looking at reality. Taking the crucial dimensions of personal responsibility, consensus and community, it shows how we can find a new language through which we can reinvigorate our lives and our societies, and develop the resourcefulness we need but which is so hard to cultivate. The vision it presents is persuasive and very timely--only by building community can human society evolve and progress.
