It presents concepts and their connections to current society; visions of what can be in a preferred, participatory future; and an examination of the ends and means required for developing a just society. Neither shying away from the complexity of human issues, nor reeking of dogmatism, \u003cem\u003ePractical Utopia\u003c\/em\u003e presupposes only concern for humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart one offers conceptual tools for understanding society and history, for discerning the nature of the oppressions people suffer and the potentials they harbor. Part two promotes a vision for a better way of organizing economy, polity, kinship, culture, ecology, and international relations. It is not a blueprint, of course, but does address the key institutions needed if people are to be free to determine their own circumstances. Part three investigates the means of seeking change using a variety of tactics and programs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michael Albert","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48286850646267,"sku":"9781629633817","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781629633817.jpg?v=1772485556","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/practical-utopia-9781629633817","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
