Riassunto

Just when the world imagined by dreamers throughout human history is within reach, it is slipping through our fingers. Environmental degradation, climate change, the spread of nuclear weapons, and population growth pose urgent risks to human survival. Meanwhile, an epidemic of frustration and alienation has given rise to the Tea Party and the Occupy Wall Street movements. Protesters from opposite ends of the political spectrum are reacting to the same underlying problem: power is concentrated in the hands of an elite group of politicians, bankers, executives, and wealthy individuals. Both movements are looking mainly to government for solutions (though in very different ways), but government is the wrong tool for the job. Conspiracy of Dreamers transcends the chasm engulfing American politics by offering sustainable, compassionate and systemic solutions that shrink government while returning power to We the People.

L'autore:

M. Renée Orth practiced business litigation after receiving her J.D. from Berkeley in 1999. She graduated summa cum laude with a B.A. in Political Science from U.C.L.A. After earning an M.B.A. from Stanford University, Paul J. Behrman was a private equity investor for over a decade, a partner in two firms. He played football for the University of Texas where he graduated summa cum laude with a B.B.A. in Business. Today, he is the Chief Executive Officer of SkillBet.com. They consider their lack of academic expertise in economics and sociology an asset: “In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, in the expert's mind there are few,” explained Shunryu Suzuki in Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind. If you want the future to look a lot like the past, then expertise is essential; if you want to create a future far better than the past, then expertise is overrated.
