In a statement Tuesday, Sadr warned he would announce the end of the more than seven-month-old ceasefire if he deems it necessary in order to achieve security and stability.

"Rob Kall's Bottom-Up: Tapping the Power of the Connection Revolution takes a very holistic view of bottom-up thinking and action, from changes in our psychology to our systems of work, living and governance. As someone who's been working to make bottom-up economics a reality for over 30 years, this book reinforces the need for and potential of redirecting our priorities-- and resources--from the few at the top to the many at the bottom."
