Publisher's Synopsis
This book is essential for any student, activist, or citizen who wants to engage in designing a world that more closely reflects the values we hold today. It addresses problems in the election process, problems with capital and labor by advocating all workers have a living wage with disposable income among other changes. For consumers it places caps on interest rates, advocates product guarantees for quality and satisfaction as well as optional universal healthcare for those who want it. It uses a flat tax for revenue collection that is lower than today's tax rates and caps the total tax burden at 35 percent for working people. There is a wealth tax to help those among us who struggle. On the international front there are proposals for freezing the borders, demilitarization, a ban on WMDs, and a system of checks and balances to limit rogue nations from being able to engage in armed conflicts. It advocates software programs that will enable people to communicate directly with one another on a local basis as well as internationally and much more.
