Publisher's Summary
Society is broken. We can design our way to a better one.
In our interconnected world, self-interest and social interest are rapidly becoming indistinguishable. If current negative trajectories remain, including growing climate destabilization, biodiversity loss, and economic inequality, an impending future of ecological collapse and societal destabilization will make "personal success" virtually meaningless. Yet our broken social system incentivizes behavior that will only make our problems worse. If true human rights progress is to be achieved today, it is time we dig deeper - rethinking the very foundation of our social system.
In this engaging, important work, Peter Joseph, founder of the world's largest grassroots social movement - the Zeitgeist Movement - draws from economics, history, philosophy, and modern public-health research to present a bold case for rethinking activism in the 21st century.
Arguing against the long-standing narrative of universal scarcity and other pervasive myths that defend the current state of affairs, The New Human Rights Movement illuminates the structural causes of poverty, social oppression, and the ongoing degradation of public health, and it ultimately presents the case for an updated economic approach. Joseph explores the potential of this grand shift and how we can design our way to a world where the human family has become truly sustainable.
The New Human Rights Movement reveals the critical importance of a unified activism working to overcome the inherent injustice of our system. This book warns against what is in store if we continue to ignore the flaws of our socioeconomic approach, while also revealing the bright and expansive future possible if we succeed. Will you join the movement?

Critically Enlightening
Provides a perspective expanding, damning critique of modern society, honing in on the fundamental root causes of most of our social and economic failures. Also explores relevant, and valuable solutions for social progress, which are absolutely essential if we wish to thrive sustainably.

Hang in there, there is hope
An honestly brutal dissection of the current state and it’s direction with a comprehensive though high level outline for a narrow path out of the quagmire. Big love Peter

Catharsis by way of Logic.
What made the experience of listening to The New Human Rights Movement the most enjoyable?
Listening to this (too lazy to read), was a cathartic exercise. A must read for the disaffected, disillusioned and dissatisfied during these tumultuous times. Thanks to his years of exhaustive research, this comprehensive breakdown of the current "economy" outlines the contradictions of capitalism and suggests ways to bring about open-source thinking. This type of material seems to act as anxiety relief for me personally in a time of uncertainty, or, for the uninitiated, a slap in the face of all you thought you knew.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The book contains some personal anecdotes by the author which help paint a picture of his connection with socioeconomic concern. An interesting look at a sane individual in this mad world (in my opinion).
Any additional comments?
Well worth the money considering it goes toward the important goal of the biggest economic change in human history. From the "Free Market" as we know it, to a post-scarcity society and a true democracy.
