THE AGE OF CONSENT

Sinopsis de THE AGE OF CONSENT

A manifesto for a new world order. Having made a hugely significant contribution to the increasingly irrefutable‚ if alarming‚ diagnosis of the ills of early 21st−century consumerist culture and its free−market myths‚ George Monbiot now sets out to offer something more constructive‚ a set of proposals − political‚ democratic‚ economic‚ environmental − that might effect the cultural change that many in the West (not to mention those on the outside of the West looking in) now want but scarcely know how to make happen. The Age of Consent is provocative‚ brave‚ even utopian. But‚ with most of the 20th century′s Big Ideas dead in the gutter‚ it′s time for a book that can be a touchstone for real debate about the political and economic presumptions and prejudices on which our society has rested since World War Two.
