Creating Democracy In Time, that is, before the general crises projected for the 21st century, ought to be the primary theme as we contemplate the future, according to the author of this book. He develops a theory of the place of democracy in nature and argues that nothing short of a revolution in the way we think about ourselves, our institutions, and our societies will save today's children from enormous tragedies in the first half of the next century.
Mr. Foreman does not shrink from the challenge. He makes bold and specific recommendations for radically improving our democratic processes at every level from the personal relationship through the corporation and nation-state to the United Nations and the world system.
Dramatic proposals for new types of organization, for resolving the nuclear dilemma, and for constructing the future evolution of democratic systems are made in this timely and important new work.
