Demand the Impossible!: A Radical ManifestoPaperback – September 20, 2016

by Bill Ayers (Author)
“In an era defined by mass incarceration, endless war, economic crisis, catastrophic environmental destruction, and a political system offering more of the same, radical social transformation has never been more urgent—or seemed more remote.

A manifesto for movement-makers in extraordinary times, Demand the Impossible! urges us to imagine a world beyond what this rotten system would have us believe is possible.

In critiquing the world around us, insurgent educator and activist Bill Ayers uncovers cracks in that system, raising the horizons for radical change, and envisioning strategies for building the movement we need to make a world worth living in.”

The following seems to be a very interesting book too:

The Crucible of Global War: And the Sequence that is Leading Back to ItKindle Edition

by Christopher Petitt (Author)
 “Nobody outside of despots and tyrants and dictators bent on world domination ever wants to go to war. And yet entire nations of people are moved to do so because, to put it simply, there is no other choice… They can try to put it off. They can institute political and economic policies that ignore the underlying realities and watch as conditions deteriorate to the breaking point… But they can only kick the can so far down the road. Ultimately, people go to war.”

Global economic malaise, record financial inequality, geopolitical chaos, the loss of American influence – the world is beginning to see turmoil that may rival that found on the eve of the Second World War. The power structures of the world are changing, and if history is a guide, the changing will not come quietly.

The Crucible of Global War lays out in chilling detail the connections between today’s disorder and the critical moments throughout history that have preceded times of global conflict. Is it humankind’s destiny again? The Crucible is a page-turning exposition of history, politics, economics, current events, and philosophy – a must-read for anyone interested in gaining insight into the nature of history and the inexorable unfolding of the perilous times ahead.
