Yes We Must Fix Our Broken System and Bring Peace to the World: Hope Will Follow Phil Rourk

First released in July 2008, this book clearly warned of the impending economic and political crises that are still unfolding as we enter into 2012. A cogent analysis is presented explaining why our once proud and once efficient system is breaking down, and points to the fundamentals that need to be addressed in order to enjoy the fair, healthy and happy lives we all aspire to, and that we ALL deserve. A first universal principle that we must once again hold high, the book affirms, must be a recommitment to the sacred nature and the sanctity of life, the rejection of violence except only in cases of extreme danger from another's misguided aggression, and an unreserved and whole-hearted reidentification with the whole of creation of which we are but a part. With this principle as a point of departure, YES WE MUST discusses how freer access to mass media, a reformed electoral process, a redefinition of property rights and the creation of new global, national and local institutions to more effectively serve the public good in a complex new world, can help us to establish a healthy and sustainable way of life on Earth, with liberty and justice for all.
