Naomi Klein's 'No Logo' told us what was wrong. Now, George Monbiot
shows us how to put it right. Provocative, brave and beautifully
argued, 'The Age of Consent' is nothing less than a manifesto for a
new world order. 'Our task is not to overthrow globalisation, but
to capture it, and to use it as a vehicle for humanity's first
global democratic revolution.' All over our planet, the rich get
richer while the poor are overtaken by debt and disaster. The world
is run not by its people but by a handful of unelected or
underelected executives who make the decisions on which everyone
else depends: concerning war, peace, debt, development and the
balance of trade. Without democracy at the global level, the rest
of us are left with no means of influencing these men but to shout
abuse and hurl ourselves at the lines of police defending their
gatherings and decisions. Does it have to be this way? George
Monbiot knows not only that things ought to change, but also that
they can change. Drawing on decades of thinking about how the world
is organized and administered politically, fiscally and
commercially, Monbiot has developed an interlocking set of
proposals all his own, which attempts nothing less than a
revolution in the way the world is run. If these proposals become
popular, never again will people be able to ask of the critics of
the existing world order, 'we know what they don't want, but what
do they want?' Fiercely controversial and yet utterly persuasive,
the ingenious solutions Monbiot suggests for some of the planet's
most pressing problems mark him as perhaps the most realistic
utopian of our time and a man whose passion is infectious and whose
ideas, many will surely come to agree, are becoming irresistible.
