Turning the World Right Side Up: Science, Community and Democracy - Kerans, Patrick; Kearney, John

Clean, tight, unmarked; gift inscription on title page; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; The focus of this book is on the un-sustainability of the system that economists, in the name of science, have foisted upon society. Framing their study within an analysis of contemporary neoliberalism, the authors explore new directions leading to a broad grassroots-based democracy. They argue that the decline of democracy is rooted in the rule of experts and the domination of scientific reductionism. They seek a new cultural diversity and point out that is in communities and neighbourhoods at the grassroots where the knowledge for a new world is located.
