Where the hell did this come from?The fact is that our media, particularly our broadcast media, is a business that profits when its viewership and listenership goes up.

"Kall's well-researched book integrates knowledge from philosophy to economics and ecology. He shows us how, all over the world and across many fields of endeavor, we humans are organizing new and rewarding ways of acting for the common good. His book is both idealistic and realistic and gives us a vision of what we all most need -- hope for the future"
