Summary

"In this brand new edition of her bestseller, Jessica Williams tests the temperature of our world - and diagnoses a malaise with some shocking symptoms. Get the facts but also the human side of the story on the world's hunger, poverty, material and emotional deprivation; its human rights abuses and unimaginable wealth; the unstoppable rise of consumerism, mental illness, the drugs trade, corruption, gun culture, the abuse of our environment and more. The prognosis might look bleak, yet there is hope, Williams argues - and it's down to us to act now to change things."--BOOK JACKET.
