“It’s been a long time since I’ve read a more interesting, informing and inspiring book than ‘The Leaderless Revolution: how ordinary people will take power and change politics in the 21stcentury’.“
Bill Moyers
“Ross makes an impassioned case not just against leadership but against any form of representation, even representative democracy, arguing that it hasn’t worked…I found these stories thrilling.“
Harvard Business Review
“Puts the ‘We’ back into ‘Yes we can’“
Books of the Year 2011, The Herald, Scotland
“So bold, so full of incontestable truths and overwhelming convictions, that it should be read by every diplomat, politician and thinking citizen with the courage to pick it up.“
John le Carré
“A remarkable call to arms“
Jon Snow
“If everyone read this book, politics might begin to be about trusting each other rather than lobbies, subsidies and cynicism.“
Books of the Year 2011, The Daily Telegraph
“Carne Ross takes up where Naomi Klein, Noreena Hertz and others left off. This is an impassioned, idealistic critique of the state of global politics and the deepening rift between those with power and those without.“
“Idealistic and impassioned, wide-ranging and concise, pragmatic and eloquent…The Leaderless Revolution stands out in its insightful treatment of the nuance-colored, complex, seemingly irrational and inexplicably tumultuous events.“
“[an] important contribution to the new age of thinking that is rapidly emerging as a consequence of the crisis of globalised capitalism“
“Unlike other books of this nature, which readily point out the societal flaws that surround us, Ross actually posits solutions to the hegemonic dominance of liberal democracy… [It’s] as good a time as any to re-evaluate this thought-provoking book, which offers a well timed and extensively researched interpretation on the themes of democracy, stability and anarchy“
