Charles Jones' - "Reading to begin a new narrative - some books of interest read in 2021"

3/7/2021

​We recently asked Charles Jones, a founder of the predecessor of BSFG, if he could provide us with a list of reading he would recommend to others. 

​A great reader and thinker about issues related to a sustainable future, Charles shared a list of books of interest read in 2021, thanking us for the opportunity to share this with others.

"Because  time is running out I would emphasize the first three.
We need to begin a new narrative to get the possibility of massive social change into the public arena. That means the planning should begin now, maybe with a timeframe of about 10 years.


Thanks for the opportunity,

​Charles"
