The New Human Rights Movement looks at the root causes to our social and environmental problems. It does an impressive job of shedding light on the structural nature of these issues, cutting through what is usually seen as disconnected failures or political corruption. One of the main problems we face as activists or simply as people trying to make sense of our world is that we tend to focus on symptoms and face a never ending, futile fight of trying to combat injustice. Luckily there is a more radical and effective way to view things. Strangely enough as it may seem, this more effective perspective comes in the form of science rather than morality, public opinion or heartfelt good intentions. Science has been making observations and conclusions based on research and empirical evidence for some time now as to root causes and systemic flaws in our social and economic system.... but change is slow due to what can be called culture lag as well as the retarding effects of capitalist interests. Peter Joseph shows us these important informational findings of science in a relevant and eye opening way. He also lays out a refreshingly rational vision for our future both in general and in detail which is hopeful and yet based  on what I see to be solid logic. I honestly wish that everyone could read this book!
