Read my book review of "Occupy World Street: A Global Roadmap for Radical Economic and Political Reform" by Ross Jackson

Book review published at ForeWord Reviews

"The combination of economic and political power in the same hands is a sure recipe for tyranny."

                                                                          – Milton Friedman

From the author, Ross Jackson: "We have been far too slow in realizing the true nature of the threats facing us… It is probably too late to avoid a collapse of civilization as we know it due to an obsession with economic growth on a finite planet that cannot tolerate much more without collapsing. I do not believe we can survive in the longer term as a global civilization without major reforms of the type proposed in the latter part of this book....

This book is thus my attempt ... to show a possible way forward toward a more sustainable and just global civilization, with a major focus on economics, since misguided assumptions about unlimited economic growth are central to the crises facing us. Thus, Occupy World Street is about collapse and renewal of our human civilization, about danger and opportunity, suffering and vision."
