Summary

In The World We Want, Peter Karoff presents a collective vision of an ideal world, viewed from 10 perspectives. The book weaves together multi-sector, multidiscipline strategies, butin large partit is about the power of human connection, reinforced by personal stories of motivation and the human capacity for caring. Without ignoring the institutional and cultural obstacles, and the courage needed to face down the dark side of human behavior, Karoff shows how citizen engagement and open source solutions could tip the scale toward a better world.
