Change Everything - How We Can Rethink, Repair and Rebuild Society (2nd ed) (Unabridged)

Synopsis

A practical and hopeful guide for anyone who wants a route map to a fairer, greener future. 'Every so often, a book comes along that articulates exactly what our country needs. This is one. Essential reading' Zack Polanski We are living in a social, political, economic and environmental emergency. The status quo is profoundly unstable; change is inevitable. Now is the time to get together to build a far healthier and more balanced world. The decades-old political orthodoxy - that greed is good, inequality doesn't matter and we can keep treating the planet as a mine and a dumping ground - has been a recipe for disaster. Our world needs a new vision, the Green vision. From Universal Basic Income to fee education, from less stuff but more life, to genuine democratic opportunities for all, Natalie Bennett brings together a holistic, hopeful and practical vision for the future. The foundations of Change Everything are conversations with many thousands of people. We need to engage millions to bring together the imagination, talents and energy of all in order to build and repair our societies. Then a positive future is within our reach. 'A full-throated battle-song... We are ready for another world, we are ready to change everything and this wonderful book shows us exactly how we are going to do that' Caroline Lucas 'Every so often, a book comes along that articulates exactly what our country needs. This is one. Essential reading' Zack Polanski 'If charm and enthusiasm were enough to win over more reluctant citizens to a programme of radical change, Natalie Bennett would be a strong contender for the challenge. Change Everything is essentially a manifesto - delivered with great gusto - of what a green perspective would look like across a wide array of subjects' Ros Coward, The Ecologist 'The real joy of this book is to be found in the breadth of Baroness Bennett's reading and experiences. It's a well-grounded text, a hallmark of a committed radical' Liam Byrne, Politics Home
