The Trajectory of Change | Praise
“Cross global activism with common sense, and you get Michael Albert’s
new book, The Trajectory of Change. It's clear, useful, and short. You
will not agree with all of his suggestions, but this book will start you thinking:
what would work? How do we solve the real problems of our movement?”
—Mike Prokosch, Director of the global economy program at United for
a Fair Economy
“In the clearest of language, Michael Albert lays bare the weaknesses
of the Left and points to the opportunities ahead. Eschewing cynicism and defeatism,
he outlines positive alternatives that will attract and retain social activists,
and, most importantly, achieve tangible victories. If you’re tired of complaining
about the ills of capitalism and ready to articulate what we want and how to
get there, read this book.”
—Medea Benjamin, Founding Director of Global Exchange and active Green
Party member
“The Trajectory of Change could just as easily been entitled ‘passing
the word’ because it summarizes some of the key lessons—pluses
and minuses—of the work of the US Left over the last 30+ years. These are
lessons and observations of great value to all activists, but especially
those new to progressive and Left politics. Written in an accessible manner
and profoundly thought-provoking, this book helps us to remember that a movement
of resistance to oppression is essential; a movement with vision and strategy
is compelling.”
—Bill Fletcher, Jr., National organizer for the Black Radical Congress
