Author Description

Power, Chaos & Consensus is an absolutely original book, 50 years in the making.It is both a 'big picture' and a detailed look at how we might fix the mess we humans have created for ourselves on this finite blue planet in the 21st century.It is not another religious text or a fuzzy book on vague philosophy. It is simply a plan; a plan for the future of humankind, written by a professional Planner based on ideas that he has found in his travels already in use somewhere on this planet. Put together in a single package now updated, this possible planetary fix can be used right out of the box by any size group of people anywhere in the world. "Extremely Interesting!" - Noam Chomsky- after being given an early draft of this book back in 2011."The book is really incredible and very well written. What is really wonderful is that he understands all the dimensions of the issues in a public context." - Sharon Villines- Co-author of "We the People""This book addresses nothing less than our fundamental human dilemma" - Mike O'Brien - Book Reviewer for the Ethiopian HeraldFrom the book: "We have still not figured out how to ensure social equity between people under a market economy, how to live in the natural environment that surrounds us without abusing it, how to resolve serious conflicts with our neighbours without going to war."Power, Chaos & Consensus offers hope by showing us in detail how we as individuals and as a planet could do all of these things and more. Ted's second book, "The Old Man in the Bag" is a collection of true short stories that gently tell how he became interested in Consocratic Theory 50 years ago while living in a grass hut helping several dozen very poor Ethiopian farmers establish a new town in the lowland jungle of Ethiopia's Rift Valley (available in paperback and electronically)
