About this book
Reviews
'This provocative and clarifying book ...invites us to contemplate the historic watershed that Britain is in, and offers a well-grounded, experience-based set of choices that would end the impotence and provide genuine opportunities for local governance that would work. It's an ambitious and clear call that is issued here; we cannot ignore it if we are to find our way out of this current negative spiral of insanity.'
- Dr Margaret Wheatley, Utah, USA
