The Leaderless Revolution
There are few books that attempt to interpret the world and how it is run.
The Leaderless Revolution offers a refreshing and potent contrast to the Panglossian optimism of Tom Friedman’s. The World is Flat but, like that book, it offers a way of understanding the world of the 21st century that is both clear and easily comprehensible.
Carne Ross takes different angles on contemporary issues. like economics, politics, the state of democracy, the environment and terrorism wrapping them into a unified explanation. of how money and power function to control the lives of the earth’s inhabitants, such that they feel powerless to affect their collective future. It seems that mankind has settled upon liberal democracy as the ideal form of government.
Its triumph with the collapse of communism signaled the end of the ideological struggle and thus of history. The Leaderless Revolution will show however that even in democracies, many if not most of the population feel that they are excluded from any agency over the issues that most trouble them, while governments appear less and less able to influence the global problems that threaten our peace and comforts.
Mining the rich but little-examined histories of both cosmopolitanism and anarchism, The Leaderless Revolution shows how both ideas, in combination, are relevant and necessary for the problems of today. Not only an antidote to our global crises; Carne Ross offers, moreover, a route to fulfillment and self-realization
