“Due to COVID 19 people have been questioning their basic contract. Is this government protecting me, and are these politicians doing what they claim to do, which is to look after us and to protect our health?”
 
Once a British diplomat and now self proclaimed 'gentle anarchist', Carne Ross describes how solving today’s problems starts with shedding our assumptions about what works and what is possible. Drawing inspiration from diverse movements and places - the ancient Greeks, the philosophy of anarchy, and a Brazilian city - Ross reveals practical steps for re-imagining democracies so that they are capable of tackling the biggest challenges of our times.
