Media reviews

Chris Wright's The Community Manifesto" has much of the feel of Fritz Schumacher's 1960s classic "Small is Beautiful: Economics as if People Matter" with oodles of honest-to-goodness common sense, knowledge in detail across a broad spectrum of 'worlds' and an armchair style that convinces without confronting. It is also ideologically very sound from a 'Fourth World' viewpoint with Chris Wright's long-held belief in the "power of community to transform our world" shines through from every page..an intellectual "tour de force." A deceptively easy read..and just the book to slip into." -- Peter Etherden, Fourth World Review
