In this challenging book Cyril Belshaw uses anthropological themes not only to identify the connections between global and personal issues but to set forth a programme of solutions. Professor Tom Moynihan writes: 'His most... empowering insight is his insistence on a holistic account of what has to be done.... to consider the smallest, most intimate, most personal detail.... along with the largest most systemic considerations... he builds a vision of world governance that has deep roots in radical thinking....' Among the topics he links together are issues of youth maturity, violence health and crime, poverty, corporate organization, nationalism and fiscal structures, world government - and what we need to do to achieve our goals. He challenges you ro create your own goals and build our future.
