Who Do We Choose to Be?: Facing Reality, Claiming Leadership, Restoring Sanity by Margaret J. Wheatley

Met me where I'm currently at with thinking our society is a sinking ship. But... I really do wonder if she stuck too hard to "our society is going to collapse" because she can't/doesn't see alternatives outside of the ruling-class’s approach to everything. Sure, if we keep doing exactly what we're doing, we'll crash and burn. But what if we let other people, who haven't had a chance to create things/solutions/systems take control, right the ship? She talks about how every society that collapses thinks towards the end, “we’re smart, we can use our smarts to get out of this”. And that they never can. But how many people ruling the collapsing societies at the end of their run say, “you know what? We suck, let’s give the marginalized a chance to run this.” Seems like there could end up being some different results.
