CITIZENS: WHY THE KEY TO FIXING EVERYTHING IS ALL OF US
Book ID/图书代码: 08136022C00830
English Summary/英文概要: What are we doing to ourselves when we tell ourselves we’re Consumers 3000 times a day?
What would it look like to put the same creativity and energy into involving people as Citizens?
What would you do in this time, if you truly believed in yourself and those around you?
Jon Alexander spent the first decade of his career in the advertising industry, selling some of the
world’s biggest brands. Then he realised he was caught up in a story he didn’t believe in – the Consumer
Story.
Here, with New York Times bestselling writer Ariane Conrad, he shows us what we need to do to step
into a bigger idea of ourselves as Citizens: collaborative, caring, creative creatures who can shape our
communities, organisations, and nations for the better.
Citizens traces human history from the Subject Story of kings and empires to the current Consumer
Story, bringing together the evidence that we have always been Citizens by nature. It sets out the tools
we need to reinvent our organisations and our politics, equipping us to face the many challenges of
our time. It shows us what we must do to survive and thrive – as individuals, as organisations, even as
a species.
