The US is a major exception, and this book proposes how Americans might think about constitutional revisions.

This book analyzes the complex relationship between human rights and liberalism as two different worldviews, and how American liberalism impedes the recognition of human rights. In order to achieve democratic, equitable, and sustainable societies, people need to be accorded fundamental human rights and to grant these rights to others.

Discusses ways that participatory democracy could work in United States and elsewhere, and lays out possibilities for economic democracy and worker ownership. This book shows how human rights, democracy, and protection of common goods can be embedded in social practices and processes.
