“Brilliant, wise, profound and persuasive. Common Sense for the 21st Century will come to be recognized as a classic of political theory.”—George Monbiot, via Twitter An urgent, essential, and practical call to action from a cofounder of Extinction Rebellion What can we all do to avert catastrophe and avoid extinction? Roger Hallam has answers. In Common Sense for the 21st Century, Roger Hallam, cofounder of Extinction Rebellion, outlines how movements around the world need to come together now to start doing what works: engaging in mass civil disobedience to make real change happen. The book gives people the tools to understand not only why mass disruption, mass arrests, and mass sacrifice are necessary but also details how to carry out acts of civil disobedience effectively, respectfully and nonviolently. It bypasses contemporary political theory, and instead is inspired by Thomas Paine, the pragmatic 18th-century revolutionary whose pamphlet Common Sense sparked the American Revolution. Common Sense for the 21st Century urges us to confront the truth about climate change and argues forcefully that only a revolution of society and the state, similar to the turn that Paine urged the Americans to take into the political unknown, can save us now.

In the spirit of Thomas Paine's eighteenth century book, Common Sense, this new little book, Common Sense in the 21st Century, was written at a time when our country desperately needs some common sense in Washington. Written in an easy to read direct to the point format, this publication was written for all Americans, not for the liberals or the conservatives, but for all. Nearly two hundred and fifty years after Thomas Paine's writing of Common Sense, America desperately needs a new common sense approach one more suited for the 21st century. Enclosed you will find some common sense approaches to campaign finance reform, legislative reform, tax reform, government regulation, heathcare, education, welfare, social security, immigration, the legal system, and more. Every great invention known to mankind has its beginning from just a single thought or idea. The author's sole intention of this writing is not fame or fortune but to provoke thought, discussion, creativity and most importantly improve our government and hopefully our society. If one, just one idea from this publication can take root, gain national recognition and create a significant actual change for the betterment of our nation then all the time and effort would have been worth it. Surely you can find one thing enclosed within the pages of this publication that you feel has legitimate merit worthy of your time and attention. Maybe together we can make a difference. Let's spread the word throughout social media until every politician, civic leader, and political journalist has read this publication. Let's make a change for the better together. We can make a difference.

This book recognizes that there is much being said about what is wrong in the United States, but little about what the causes are or what can be done about it. In this book, I attempt to define causes, and solutions, in simple language that should be understood by any adult reader.

Do humans feel guilty for what they don't do? Yes; each and every force in this world affects humans silently and forms them as they choose in conscious and unconscious ways. When intelligence and education weren't introduced at a prehistoric age, people were evolving with finding the most common ways, and most people's common sense became the education of other people. Humans are not uneducated but they ignore their common sense with more educational beliefs and confidence. Common Sense, a slim book, is focused on how humans are missing the opportunity of common sense in their life and how they can implement it as a conscious part to make and remember it for life forever.

Glenn Beck, the New York Times bestselling author of The Great Reset, revisits Thomas Paine's Common Sense. In any era, great Americans inspire us to reach our full potential. They know with conviction what they believe within themselves. They understand that all actions have consequences. And they find commonsense solutions to the nation’s problems. One such American, Thomas Paine, was an ordinary man who changed the course of history by penning Common Sense, the concise 1776 masterpiece in which, through extraordinarily straightforward and indisputable arguments, he encouraged his fellow citizens to take control of America’s future—and, ultimately, her freedom. Nearly two and a half centuries later, those very freedoms once again hang in the balance. And now, Glenn Beck revisits Paine’s powerful treatise with one purpose: to galvanize Americans to see past government’s easy solutions, two-party monopoly, and illogical methods and take back our great country.

Forget everything you think you know about school reform. Cutting through the cant, sentiment, and obfuscation characterizing the current school reform debate, Frederick M. Hess lacerates the conventional "status quo" reform efforts and exposes the naivete underlying reform strategies that rest on solutions like class size reduction, small schools, and enhanced professional development. He explains that real improvement requires a bracing regime of common sense reforms that create a culture of competence by rewarding excellence, punishing failure, and giving educators the freedom and flexibility to do their work. He documents the scope of the challenges we face and then provides concrete recommendations for addressing them through reforms to promote accountability, competition, a 21st-century workforce, effective school leadership, and sensible reinvention. Engagingly written and drawing on real world experiences and examples, Common Sense School Reform will generate debate and help set the agenda for the future.
