Another World is Possible
by Geoff Mulgan
(Hurst, £17.56)
GEOFF MULGAN, UCL professor, former director of the strategy unit at 10 Downing Street, (1997-2004) draws on the arts, social sciences, philosophy and history to confront today’s world where so many of us desperately want transformational social change, yet are resigned to fatalism.
Powerful interests, he argues, deliberately resist, confuse, disrupt any trends they find threatening.
In order to bring about change, Mulgan urges us to find new ways of seeing that will prompt new ways of doing, and by using our creative imagination, a wider range of options open up.
