Power to the People

POWER TO THE PEOPLE is his radical manifesto for change designed to inspire citizen action around the world. The book presents a blueprint for how we, as individuals, can make a difference through greater community engagement, and how we can deliver a society that works for the many and not the few. He speaks to voter apathy and a growing sense that elections no longer matter, with politicians and institutions too focused on short-term issues to grapple with complex global problems such as climate change, rising inequality, and digital disruption. Yet the book is also filled with inspiring real-life examples of citizen power in action, ranging from a volunteer-run repair café in Danny`s local suburb to Avaaz`s successful campaigns to tackle endemic corruption in Brazil. From public ownership of social media spaces to democratising share ownership, and from re-energising co-operatives to creating a people`s chamber at the United Nations, this campaigning book has a clear mission to make us reclaim our power as citizens of the world.
