Product Description

Synopsis
The essence of this text discusses a single and crucial discomfort afflicting the modern world. Environmentalists see the solution in terms of growing trees and abolishing motor cars; political reformers see it in terms of extending democracy; business people in terms of growth; the European Union sees it in terms of concentrating power at the centre; Eurosceptics in terms of getting back to the power of Westminster in the fifties; the American Union expresses the same division; moralists see it in terms of behaviour; technocrats in terms of technical fixes. Papworth believes that "although all are partly in the right, yet all are wholly wrong!" Understanding human scale and empowering local communities everywhere is the only thing that can lead us back to sanity and the point where we can begin to cope with the multifaceted problems in the 21st century. A prophet of community democracy for more than thirty years, the author outlines the historical trends by which people have lost control of the decision-making process, making an urgent plea for a return to the democratic sanity of community government.
