Summary
Society is broken. We can design our way to a better one.
In our interconnected world, self-interest and social-interest are rapidly becoming indistinguishable.

Critics Review
“
”“Peter Joseph is one of the great visionaries of our time. If there’s a beautiful future—and I think there will be—then his fingerprints will be all over it.””
—Marianne Williamson, #1 New York Times bestselling author
”“Since 9⁄11, security took over and retired human rights into a small closet. We need to get back to the issue of rights for all. Hopefully this important work will draw us closer to that reality and promise. Without economic realignment with nature to secure our habitat, along with conquering the sociological roots of fragmentation and bigotry, the human family is in peril.””
—Jack Healey, Head of Human Rights Action Center
”“One of this generation’s greatest visionaries delivers a startling exposé about the violent oppression that defines our economic order, while issuing an urgent call for global activism to unite to change it. Amidst a deepening crisis of capitalism and inequality, coupled with an intensifying assault by the Empire’s elite, The New Human Rights Movement provides a crucial roadmap for the movement toward the next system.””
–Abby Martin, host of The Empire Files
