Currently reading "Braver New World" and am enjoying the optimism of solutions and approaches to issues gathered around the world plus the healthy lack of confidence in our outdated political systems and political class.
Although only 50 % through the book what is missing for me is a radical strategic plan addressing how as a global society we can collaborate on a scale never seen before to address the fundamental issues affecting us all.
I will share that I am not a political animal but come from and engineering and project management background working and supporting delivery and process improvements on projects and programs of $10B plus value. As engineers and Project managers we dont just talk about it. we deliver!
Johns excellent book has prompted me to continue drafting my next book "Collaboration Dawn" of which 7 of the circa 20 draft chapters are available on substack https://collabdawn.substack.com/p/collaboration-dawn .. Last year I was seriously disillusioned and stopped researching and drafting due to the worsening geopolitical events but recently reading articles where people are looking to discuss radical change has re-motivated me. If you have time please read and would welcome and constructive comments and discussion
Timely notification of an inescapable issue in many people’s near future. By the looks of it no one in politics is able to explain to Brits why funds have to be made available. Oh well, it’s going to hit those people as well!
The solutions do exist elsewhere. And weirdly, the nations with the bright ideas also tend to be nations with open governments - meaning they don't keep the secret to a happier life a secret. You can download their policies and study them, copy them. They don't charge.
I really enjoyed your article (enjoyed isn't the right word) and recognised the frustrations. I've written on a similar theme for The Skeptic. Hope you can take a look..
