This is a book about action; what kind of action; how to gauge an action's effectiveness; whether or not one or more actions are complementary or mutually destructive; who should carry out the actions and when. French writer, thinker, and activist, Jean Ousset examines the fundamental questions of effective social action, such as ideology, people, resources, and how to evaluate conflicting principles. Anyone interested in effecting social change or studying modern social movements will find this both a compelling and unique work.
