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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eArguing against the long-standing narrative of universal scarcity and other pervasive myths that defend the current state of affairs, \u003ci\u003eThe New Human Rights Movement\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates the structural causes of poverty, social oppression, and the ongoing degradation of public health, and ultimately presents the case for an updated economic approach.
