The result is a compelling, frame-shifting account of how we might live differently and create a safer, healthier, more sustainable future.A work of keen analysis as well as enormous heart and optimism, Another World Is Possible is destined to crack the mold of current debates, and to refresh our sense of what might be possible tomorrow.
