HOW DID WE GET INTO THIS MESS? - GEORGE MONBIOT...

Where we have gone wrong  and what to do about it Without countervailing voices  naming and
challenging power  political freedom withers and dies. Without countervailing voices  a better
world can never materialise. Without countervailing voices  wells will still be dug and bridges
will still be built  but only for the few. Food will still be grown  but it will not reach the
mouths of the poor. New medicines will be developed  but they will be inaccessible to many of
those in need. George Monbiot is one of the most vocal  and eloquent  critics of the current
consensus. How Did We Get into this Mess?   based on his powerful journalism  assesses the
state we are now in: the devastation of the natural world  the crisis of inequality  the
corporate takeover of nature  our obsessions with growth and profit and the decline of the
political debate over what to do. While his diagnosis of the problems in front of us is
clear-sighted and reasonable  he also develops solutions to challenge the politics of fear. How
do we stand up to the powerful when they seem to have all the weapons? What can we do to
prepare our children for an uncertain future? Controversial  clear but always rigorously argued
How Did We Get into this Mess? makes a persuasive case for change in our everyday lives  our
politics and economics  the ways we treat each other and the natural world.
