About this product
Product Information
Drawing on historical and present-day examples of individuals and groups doing their own thing, pooling resouces, re-writing the rules, Gibson shows how the potential for change and success lies in basic human assets: the creative instinct to do things ourselves; the staying power that comes from working together on the same footing and sharing the credit; the inborn urge to ask why? and then how? ; the support we get from family and community; and the human asset, time on our hands . The text examines the problems that come from too much talking, the dependency relationship we have with those in authority, how to reconcile self-interest with the common good, and the way we concede more power to the powerful. The book concludes with a discussion of working models for change at neighbourhood level and the working relationships they engender, drawing on the resourcefulness and willingness of ordinary people to improve their lives and the condition of their neighbourhood.
