Overpowered

The Fine Mess We've Gotten Ourselves Into

From: Power

$6.00

In this chapter the author focuses primarily on power dilemmas that are less frequently discussed, but that may be even more important for us to understand, especially in the 21st century. These are problems that occur when sheer amounts of physical power overwhelm natural systems, and when concentrated vertical social power threatens individual and collective human well-being.
