Citizens presents just such a story.' - Tim Brown, Chair of IDEO and author of Change By Design 'The shift from consumer to citizen is a truly big idea.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Citizens by Jon Alexander is a bold, uplifting wakeup call for anyone who feels that democracy, community, and everyday life have been reduced to clicking, buying, complaining and waiting for them to fix it. If youre tired of politics-as-performance, brands-as-saviours, and institutions that treat people like customers or problems to manage, this book hands you a different lens: the Citizen inside every one of us.Alexanders core idea is brilliantly simple and deeply practical: to change the future, we must change the story. He reveals the hidden narratives shaping modern society and why so many wellmeaning reforms fail because they keep the same assumptions in place.The three stories: The Consumer Story: were users, consumers, taxpayers, and voters-as-buyers. We demand, choose, and rate while organisations compete to serve us. The Subject Story: in fear and uncertainty, we trade agency for protection hierarchy, obedience, surveillance, and strongman certainty. The Citizen Story: we are interdependent, creative, empathic people who can participate, collaborate, and cocreate solutions. Citizenship becomes a verb: engagement, responsibility, belonging, contribution.With a foreword by Brian Eno and praise from leading voices in democracy, business, and social change, Citizens makes a persuasive case that the Citizen Story is already rising often beneath the media radar. From citizens selforganising in crisis to neighbourhood renewal, Alexander shows how citizen power and collective intelligence can outperform topdown command or market fixes when challenges are complex: climate change, inequality, polarisation, loneliness, and loss of trust.What youll get from this book: A fresh, memorable framework for democratic renewal, civic participation, and citizen-led change (ideal for readers of politics, social science, and systems thinking) A clear diagnosis of why consumerism cant solve the problems it created and why change without consequences is a dangerous fantasy Real-world stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary work f rom Birmingham and Berlin to Kibera, London, and Grimsbyproving that citizenship is not rare; its human Practical pathways to participatory democracy: citizens assemblies, deliberative democracy, participatory budgeting, community organising, volunteering, crowdfunding, civic tech, and open innovation A sector-by-sector roadmap for transforming the institutions that shape our lives: Citizen NGOs, Citizen Business, and Citizen Government Social acupuncture tools for leaders, organisers, and teams: find the leverage points where energy for a new way is ready to flow, then unlock itGrounded in the work of the New Citizenship Project, this is essential reading for anyone interested in community building, local governance, civic leadership, public service reform, ethical leadership, corporate responsibility, stakeholder capitalism, employee engagement, and rebuilding trust through transparency and participation.Citizens is designed to be used, not just admired. Its equally valuable for public servants, educators, nonprofit leaders, business leaders, community organisers, activists, and social entrepreneurs. It also includes questions for discussion and reflection ideal for book clubs, classrooms, leadership teams, and civic groups.If you want hope without handwaving and a practical, inspiring guide to participation, collaboration, and rebuilding democracy from the ground up Citizens will change how you see people, power, and possibility.
