About this listen

Humanity is failing to tackle urgent global problems like climate change, tax avoidance, mass migration, and wealth inequality. Meanwhile, voters are rebelling in the form of Brexit, Trump and the rise of the Far-Right. The SIMPOL Solution reasons that there is just one barrier that prevents all governments from taking action: the fear that it would make their national economies uncompetitive. No nation can move first for fear of losing jobs and investment to others.

The SIMPOL Solution identifies this as "Destructive Global Competition", a global vicious circle in which we’re all caught. It’s not that governments don’t want to act, but that they can’t. Blaming governments or corporations, even protesting against social injustices, simply continues a "them-and-us" polarized politics that goes nowhere.

To find a way out, this book proposes an inner revolution in the way we think about and understand the world, a new more complex level of thinking that the authors call "world-centric".

John and Nick will outline the necessary psychological steps needed to achieve this before introducing the SIMPOL Solution – a simple but effective way for citizens to democratically impel governments to cooperatively solve multiple global problems, so opening the way to a just and sustainable future.

As Noam Chomsky and Ken Wilber agree, The SIMPOL Solution "... is ambitious and provocative. Can it work? Certainly worth a serious try."
