Our current democracies, by their very nature, can never bring us peace. They force people to separate problems into black and white solutions and then try to solve the preferred extreme, one piece at a time. This divisive and simplistic approach to problem solving patronizes, demonizes or simply ignores up to half those involved. It generates anger and hate among minority groups and encourages self-interest, greed, terrorism and war. Power, Chaos and Consensus sets out an alternative way we could live together that would benefit everyone, not just the majority of people. After discussing the complexity of the many economic, social and environmental problems we face as a planet, it details an ingenious, comprehensive, practical plan that would allow any existing democratic decision making body to use "Consocratic Theory" to peacefully turn this planet's self-destructive chaos around. This book is a "conceptual sequel" to Ted Wells' book: "The Old Man in the Bag . . . And Other True Stories of Good Intentions".
