You can change the world : the global citizen's handbook for living on planet Earth : a report of the Club of Budapest

Answers two questions - first, what is at the root of all the conflict and crisis in today's world? And second, what can actually be done to move toward a world where we can live in peace, without marginalising and killing each other and destroying the environment? This handbook urges readers to become global citizens.
