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?

Must “Read”
While inevitably there will be those who disagree with the arguments presented in this text, it is virtually impossible not to concede that Peter Joseph’s exposition of our social and environmental problems is legitimate and compelling.

Reinventing the human perspective of our time
Peter Joseph and his colleagues produce an amazing, 14+hour novel about the world and structures we as society are framed within. The challenges and hardships presented within the current paradigm.
The book does a great job breaking down section by section society and the systems we live in, and presents alternatives and solutions throughout each chapter.
insights are incredible, share this novel the revolution must happen!

Helping people to understand the foundation of our human issues.
This book was very informative and helped to clarify many things about our world and why there are so many problems. It finishes with a vision of a complete economic transformation. Peter’s extrapolation of present day trends and movements are formed into a well rounded step by step unfolding of how the future could play our... With Some luck and a lot of hard work.
This book would be great for anyone interested in participating in the building of a better world. By better, I mean a world of much greater equality, freedom and balance with the natural environment, and much less waste, pain, violence and human suffering.
Defiantly worth a listen
