The Age of Consent

Naomi Klein's No Logo told us what was wrong. Now George Monbiot shows us how to put it right. Provocative brave and beautifully argued The Age of Consent is nothing less than a manifesto for a new world order. "Our task is not to overthrow globalisation but to capture it and to use it as a vehicle for humanity's first global democratic revolution. "All over our planet the rich get richer while the poor are overtaken by debt and disaster. The world is run not by its people but by a handful of unelected or underelected executives who make the decisions on which everyone else depends: concerning war peace debt development and the balance of trade. Without democracy at the global level the rest of us are left with no means of influencing these men but to shout abuse and hurl ourselves at the lines of police defending their gatherings and decisions. Does it have to be this way?George Monbiot knows not only that things ought to change but also that they can change. Drawing on decades of thinking about how the world is organized and administered politically fiscally and commercially Monbiot has developed an interlocking set of proposals all his own.
