I Funny

I Have Seen the Promised Land: A Utopian Novella
This book, a utopian novella set in the year 2026, is part of a trilogy along with The History of the Culture of War and World Peace through the Town Hall: A Strategy for the Global Movement for a Culture of Peace.

This novella foresees the coming collapse of the global economy and nation states as an opportunity to refound the United Nations on the basis of those who understand the need for a culture of peace: individuals, civil society organizations and local governments. It provides an imaginative and personalized account of how the world has come to a culture of peace and explores the various contradictions involved.
