How to Run a Planet
An Essential Guide to the Big Picture and Global Solutions
Checking Availibility...Description
How to Run a Planet recognizes the primary causes of our political and environmental crises: a lack of good global government, a laissez faire ideology, and a materialist worldview. Presenting a wiser worldview - a political model harmonious with the nature of the universe - John Holman tasks humanity with creating a planetary civilization of sublime proportions, beyond capitalism and nationalism. In doing so, Holman illustrates a democratically elected world parliament and an economic system based on the pursuit of societal and environmental well-being rather than growth. This is essential reading for policymakers, philosophers, social activists, and anybody else interested in the big picture and global solutions.

Reviews
John Holman has written an extraordinary book that should be read and debated by anyone concerned with the world as it is, and who believes in the necessity, possibility, and desirability of adopting radically better ways of organizing and sustaining our collective, planetary existence. The reliance on esoteric thought gives Holman's worldview a challenging originality that exposes the shortcomings of rationalism and materialism.
