Flourish!: An Alternative to Government and Other Hierarchies - Paperback

by Clyde Cleveland (Author), Robert Podolsky (Author)

This book explains how hierarchies threaten to destroy human society - and how they could all be replaced with a new organizational paradigm that is non-hierarchic and free of bureaucracy. Buckminster Fuller said: "You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete." Clyde Cleveland, the author of Common Sense Revisited says of FLOURISH!: "This book is powerful beyond description... I have never read any book or heard anyone describe our present system and its faults as clearly as Robert Podolsky does in this book. The real meat of this book is the solution presented to create an alternative system." Foster Gamble, the creator of the movie, "Thrive", said of it: "It is rare for me to read such a clear well thought-through book on any topic, much less the most important one on planet Earth!" Those who want to fix government and those who want a better alternative will find in this book a way to work together toward the goals they have in common: peace, prosperity, creativity, and an ethical structured society in a world without government.
