Description: Society is broken. In our increasingly interconnected world, self-interest and social-interest are rapidly becoming indistinguishable. Peter Joseph draws from economics, history, philosophy, and modern public-health research to present a bold case for rethinking activism in the 21st century. He explains how we can design our way to a post-scarcity world where poverty doesn't exist and the human family has become truly sustainable.
