The Age of Consent: A Manifesto for a New World Order by George Monbiot

3.0

Like Out of the Wreckage, I found the ideas in this book really compelling and I continue to think Monbiot is a great progressive thinker. In contrast to the former book however, the manifesto in The Age of Consent felt nigh on impossible to achieve and actually made me feel very pessimistic about representative democracy and its ability to deal with the challenges posed by globalised institutions and companies.
