Quicklink Submitted By 2 comments

Freedom is, quite simply, the most popular political principle in America. After years of warrantless wiretapping, illegal imprisonments, and torture, we should all be saying the F-word with regularity. I mean freedom. Why do progressives seem allergic to this word?

"Fascinating, eye-opening, and extraordinary, Rob Kall's Bottom Up: Tapping the Power of the Connection Revolution explores the emerging paradigm of our age -- bottom-up thinking -- connecting an enormous range of disciplines and topics from systems, chaos, and complexity theories to the evolving role of technology in our lives. Not merely a cogent exposition of contemporary thinking, however, Bottom Up extrapolates from abstract ideas to derive practical, everyday steps we can take to improve our chances of global survival, peace, and prosperity. Following Rob's lead, we can change habits as individuals to deepen our connection with others across the planet."
