Synopsis
'A civilisation that genuinely reflects all that human beings long for and aspire to can only be created on the basis of each person's freely acknowledged power to decide on each of the many questions that affect his life.' In the 40 years since he wrote those words in the first issue of his journal "Resurgence", John Papworth has not wavered from that belief. This latest book passionately restates his argument for radical decentralisation of power as the only answer to the current crises in politics, trade, ecology, and international affairs.
