About this listen

A toxic ideology rules the world of extreme competition and individualism. It misrepresents human nature, destroying hope and common purpose. Only a positive vision can replace it, a new story that reengages people in politics and lights a path to a better world.

George Monbiot shows how new findings in psychology, neuroscience and evolutionary biology cast human nature in a radically different light: as the supreme altruists and cooperators. He shows how we can build on these findings to create a new politics: a 'politics of belonging'.

Both democracy and economic life can be radically reorganized from the bottom up, enabling us to take back control and overthrow the forces that have thwarted our ambitions for a better society.

Urgent and passionate, Out of the Wreckage provides the hope and clarity required to change the world.

Think I’ll be using this material to teach my secondary students as it’s super helpful in understanding politics and government on a more personal and relevant level than your average book on political narratives. Read twice and will probably reference back again and again!

Great read for all

I couldn't put it down. Not just a book about the environment, but how citizens can take control of government for much more equitable outcomes that actually align with our values of community, justice, and fairness.
