The Age of Consent" is a non-fiction book written by George Monbiot, a British author, journalist, and environmentalist. The book presents a critical analysis of the existing global political and economic systems, arguing that they are undemocratic, unjust, and environmentally unsustainable.
Monbiot proposes a radical reform of the global governance system, advocating for a more democratic, equitable, and environmentally conscious world order. He suggests the establishment of a global parliament, the democratization of international institutions, and the implementation of a global tax system to address issues like poverty, inequality, and climate change.
