The Power of Altruism?

David Brooks of the New York Times in his column of July 8, 2016 "The Power of Altruism" (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/08/opinion/the-power-of-altruism.html?rref=collection%2Fcolumn%2Fdavid-brooks&action=click&contentCollection=opinion&region=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=1&pgtype=collection&_r=0) suggests that it's time to upend classical economics and political science to build collective institutions that counter the logic of individualism/capitalism which has  created all kinds of problems for American society.

 

 That concept is one of the pillars of The Action Manual. Refer to Chapter 8 of the Manual where it talks about building the informal shadow government and a set of national councils.

No where else can you find such an elaborate, fresh set of ideas of a system of collective institutions.
