How to Run a Planet: An Essential Guide to the Big Picture and Global Solutions

How to Run a Planet recognizes the primary causes of our political and environmental crises: a lack of good global government, a laissez faire ideology, and a materialist worldview. Presenting a wiser worldview - a political model harmonious with the nature of the universe - John Holman tasks humanity with creating a planetary civilization of sublime proportions, beyond capitalism and nationalism. In doing so, Holman illustrates a democratically elected world parliament and an economic system based on the pursuit of societal and environmental well-being rather than growth. This is essential reading for policymakers, philosophers, social activists, and anybody else interested in the big picture and global solutions.
