> It is (or at least should be) clear that this planet desperately needs a new,
> improved and fundamentally democratized socioeconomic system. The book will
> be of interest to (among others) all those who are seriously concerned about
> the multidimensional harm (to individuals, societies, cultures and the planet
> at large) caused by the extreme systemic maldistribution of material wealth
> intra- and internationally and who are convinced that this problem should and
> can only be resolved democratically and peacefully by an informed, thoughtful
> citizenry. The book will be found appropriate for courses in economics,
> political science, sociology, political philosophy, utopian studies, futures
> studies, psychology and, perhaps most importantly, democratic socioeconomic
> systems engineering. The book is extensively described on our website.

> The book is published by and available from Praeger/Greenwood, as well as
