Review
[T]he author's insight...tell[s] us that centralisation has not fulfilled the promises of its apologists. -- From the Foreword by Dr. Clyde N. Wilson, University of South Carolina
Product Description
But there is a new revolution challenging centralised control--and it is already changing the way we work. From self-managing teams to XP (Extreme Programming) to RAPP (Rapid Project Planning), a fresh approach bypasses hidebound standard operating procedures and top-down control in favour of spontaneous self-organisation and dispersed decision-making authority--the confederal approach. This new way, surprisingly, is based on traditional insights that are now being rediscovered by complexity science, a discipline that arose from groundbreaking research in biology and engineering.
Libertarians, conservatives, Southern traditionalists, communitarians, and community activists across the political spectrum, long frustrated by remote, unsympathetic bureaucracy, will recognise a much-needed new direction in this book.
