If Naomi Klein's No Logo told us what was wrong, George Monbiot promises to show us how to put it right. Our task, he says, is not to overthrow globalisation, but to capture it, and to use it as a vehicle for humanity's first global democratic revolution. All over our planet, the rich get richer while the poor are overtaken by debt and disaster. The world is run not by its people but by a handful of unelected or underelected executives who make the decisions on which everyone else depends: concerning war, peace, debt, development and the balance of trade. Without democracy at the global level, the rest of us are left with no means of influencing these men but to shout abuse and hurl ourselves at the lines of police defending their gatherings and decisions. Does it have to be this way? George Monbiot knows not only that things ought to change, but also that they can change. Drawing on decades of thinking about how the world is organized and administered politically, fiscally and commercially, Monbiot has developed an interlocking set of proposals all his own, which attempts nothing less than a revolution in the way the world is run. If these proposals become popular, never again will people be able to ask of the critics of the existing world order, we know what they don't want, but what do they want?

The Age of Consent, A manifesto for a new world order. Having made a hugely significant contribution to the increasingly irrefutable, if alarming, diagnosis of the ills of early 21st century consumerist culture and its free-market myths, George Monbiot sets out now with this book to offer something more constructive, a set of proposals political, democratic, economic, environmental that might affect the cultural change that many in the West (not to mention those on the outside of the West looking in) now want but scarcely know how to make happen. The Age of Consent is provocative, brave, even utopian. But, with most of the 20th centurys Big Ideas dead in the gutter, its time for a book that can be a touchstone for real debate about the political and economic presumptions and prejudices on which our society has rested since World War II.
