Editorial Reviews

Review

[R]equired reading for anyone who hopes to help affect change in the direction of greater liberty and regional autonomy. -- Timothy Robert Wyatt, Ph.D., P.E.

[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

The nineteenth- and twentieth-century paradigm of centralised control continues to thwart social, educational, and political progress. The idea that nothing can be accomplished without top-down imposition continues to justify a bloated bureaucracy more interested in its own survival than the well-being of the people it (supposedly) serves.

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.

Excellent book! It is accurate, interesting and full of facts. It is refreshing to read a book so free of the "politically correct" mindset. Mr. Tuggle is a wonderful author. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. This is a real page turner. Go out and purchase a copy for yourself today!
