One of the original books outlining the philosophy and core values of the Green Party. Worth looking into in this age where the word "Green" has been co-opted into oblivion!!!

Read this book a very long time back. At the time there was no Green Party representation in the UK as far as I know. I have an interest in sustainable economic growth with social responsibility. This Book covered the Green alternative to "politics as usual" looking at ecology, social responsibility, grass roots democracy and non violence.

A bit outdated but a lot of interesting ideas in this book. The end was pretty strong, and I appreciated the 10 values laid out pertaining to green politics at the end

Well written and poignant message even 40 years on this book inspires new ideas. I really liked the authors scope of the Green movement at the time the people were enjoyable to listen to
