It asks a central question: \u003cem\u003eWhat would it take to create a society that delivers flourishing lives for all? \u003c\/em\u003eDrawing on extensive original research conducted in the UK and internationally, the book examines how, in a time of global “permacrisis,” no convincing plan has yet emerged to prevent a slide into dystopia or to create a positive vision for collective wellbeing. While governments around the world appear to have run out of ideas about how to build a good society, people and organisations across civil society are actively developing them. This book describes their efforts and outlines how their work can contribute to meaningful systems change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003eBarry Knight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e is a social scientist and statistician, and visiting professor at the University of Staffordshire, UK.
