The Integral Stage LOVE THE SYSTEM: Simpol & Planetary Politics w/ John Bunzl
John Bunzl joins Layman to take a deeper look into Simpol, following his Integral Stage presentation for the Eutopia series. What was the origin of the Simpol idea? How does it relate to evolutionary process? How can it serve worldcentric and healthy nationalist interests simultaneously? How does it manifest in all four quadrants? How can it serve global health and flourishing, without triggering concerns about the over-reach or oppressive dynamics of a 'one world government'?
Bunzl is a global political activist and businessman. In 2000, he founded the Simultaneous Policy (Simpol) campaign, a way for citizens to use their votes to drive politicians towards global cooperation. It has supporters in over 100 countries and enjoys the support of a growing number of Members of Parliament around the world. He has authored or co-authored a number of books including The Simpol Solution, Monetary Reform – Making it Happen!, People-centred Global Governance – Making it Happen!, and Global Domestic Politics. He has published numerous articles on global governance in the Journal of Integral Theory & Practice. He has lectured widely, including to The Schumacher Society, The World Trade Organisation, The Lucis Trust, and various universities.
