John Papworth argues that the fundamental cause of our current woes lies in the monstrous scale of our political and economic institutions. Something has died in the soul of man, he says – it has been killed off by mass society, and only by breaking these structures down to a human scale can we regain control over the forces that shape our lives.
John Papworth is the founding editor of Resurgence, the longest-running environmental magazine in Britain. He is also a peace campaigner, grassroots journalist and Church of England priest.
