Leading political and environmental commentator on where we have gone
wrong, and what to do about it " Without countervailing voices, naming
and challenging power, political freedom withers and dies. Without
countervailing voices, a better world can never materialise. Without
countervailing voices, wells will still be dug and bridges will still be
built, but only for the few.
Food will still be grown, but it
will not reach the mouths of the poor. New medicines will be developed,
but they will be inaccessible to many of those in need. " George
Monbiot is one of the most vocal, and eloquent, critics of the current
consensus.
"How Did We Get into this Mess?," based on his
powerful journalism, assesses the state we are now in: the devastation
of the natural world, the crisis of inequality, the corporate takeover
of nature, our obsessions with growth and profit and the decline of the
political debate over what to do. While his diagnosis of the problems
in front of us is clear-sighted and reasonable, he also develops
solutions to challenge the politics of fear. How do we stand up to the
powerful when they seem to have all the weapons?What can we do to
prepare our children for an uncertain future? Controversial, clear but
always rigorously argued, "How Did We Get into this Mess?" makes a
persuasive case for change in our everyday lives, our politics and
economics, the ways we treat each other and the natural world."
