Synopsis

David Ransom and Vanessa Baird have gathered a passionate group of writers, activists, leaders and thinkers, all eager to seize this opportunity to replace deep-rooted problems with well-founded solutions. "People First Economics" buzzes with inspiration and action. Bolivian President Evo Morales promotes his 10-step programme to save the world, life and humanity; US thinker Michael Albert advocates a classless alternative to capitalism; Canadian writer Naomi Klein encourages public revolt...This book is about more than economics. It's about radical changes that are social, moral and ecological, and it provides the opportunity to rethink what really matters in life.
