Georgia Kelly - Uncivil Liberties

Uncivil Liberties was penned by six members of Praxis Peace Institute's book club (Sonoma) who decided to challenge and deconstruct libertarian and right wing ideologies. Taking on the tenets of libertarian thought, they challenge the American myths that promote a "me first" agenda, rugged individualism, and the lone hero. They explore the role that ideologies play in helping us make sense of the world and revisit the American experiment -- still unproved -- of American democracy. Citing successful alternatives to laissez-faire and corporate capitalism, the authors promote existing models that celebrate the dignity of humankind by promoting empathy, cooperation, and respect. 

The authors are Ben Boyce (community activist), Benjamin Colby, PhD (anthropology), Gus diZerega, PhD (political science), Julianne Maurseth, PhD (organizational psychology), Barry Spector (author of Madness at the Gates of the City: The Myth of American Innocence), and editor/author Georgia Kelly, Director of Praxis Peace Institute.
