That's several sources. Since I'm assuming you aren't just hiding behind a huge reading list to discourage anyone from questioning you, which on in particular best answers the following question?

How do you suggest we ensure that the most informed people are in a position to set policy? You don't support the status quo, you don't support AnCap, so I really want to hear your idea.

Page numbers would be helpful too.

The first book on the list. Pages 140 - 435. ( www.amazon.com/The-Dominant-Animal-Evolution-Environment/dp/1597260975/ )

But I think you would understand the information in that book better if you read the second book on the list as well.

EDIT: I meant the third book as a way to augment the first book. But you should probably read the second book as well.

There's a speech the author of The Dominant Animal gives. I haven't listened to it yet, (but for the first few minutes), but I'm willing to bet it's relevant. Isn't it odd that after he is introduced, he almost immediately uses the phrase "How the world works", and goes on to say the importance of understanding that.

Anyway, here's the speech: http://longnow.org/seminars/02008/jun/27/dominant-animal-human-evolution-and-environment/

It's actually you claiming ten minutes spent reading a document provides all the answers.

Read it, then we'll talk.

I have now had a chance to listen to the first hour of the speech. He really gives a good synopsis of the issues. The book will then give you detail on each of those things, with facts, examples, data, etc.

He does address the importance of understanding and knowledge, and he does address the main question Explodicle is asking. Listen to the speech.

Oh OK, I'll just watch that first. I was having trouble finding a PDF of The Dominant Animal, and the Mao quote on page 140 made me not want to pay for it. Maybe the speech will change my mind.
