Full Description

This book argues that an Earth Constitution is not a utopia: but in fact the only way to save the planet.

It goes on to say that an Earth Constitution would allow us to address the growth of inequality and the death of millions of people around the world from hunger and lack of medicines, to deal with the drama of forced migration, and to defend against the savage powers that threaten the security of entire populations with their nuclear weapons.
