Summary, etc This book offers a critical analysis of the defects in our current political-economic order that have been exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. These defects include extreme wealth inequality, a government driven by ideology, a corporate sector that prioritizes greed, a precarious labor force, and the looming threat of climate change. The book presents a unique approach that combines moral imagination and social-political analysis to overcome these issues. It focuses on two key characteristics of contemporary societies - hegemony and complexity - that have inhibited our ability to imagine and implement better practices and institutions. The book offers pragmatic solutions to a range of issues, including housing, work, governance, finance, and climate change. These solutions are informed by a comprehensive vision of a flourishing, sustainable, and democratic society. Overall, the book provides a compelling call to action for individuals concerned about the state of our society, offering practical solutions to create a better world.
