Description
THE LEADERLESS REVOLUTION is a provocative, sophisticated book about the mechanics of social change on the world stage by former diplomat and game-changing thinker Carne Ross.
The Leaderless Revolution is a call to action for you, for me, for everyone. It is an extraordinarily bold book which argues that rather than relying on failing political and economic systems to effect change, individual citizens must promulgate change themselves. Carne Ross's analysis contrasts with the optimism of globalization's boosters, like Tom Friedman. Uncontrolled economic volatility, perpetual insecurity, rampant inequality and accelerating climate change suggest that unless radical actions replace limitless patience, our world is entering a period of dangerous and prolonged crisis. Drawing from Ross's own deeply personal experiences of political violence and war, and his painful disillusionment with government, The Leaderless Revolution offers a moving and empowering new vision of how citizens, with their own actions, can put things right, at last.
Advance Praise
"An impassioned, idealistic critique of the state of global politics and the deepening rift between those with power and those without."
-The Guardian
"So bold, so full of incontestable truths and overwhelming convictions, that it should be read by every diplomat, politician and thinking citizen with the courage to pick it up."
-John le Carré
