Carl Grip is the author of "Reclaim", constituting a modern outlook on the most pressing issues in our global society. While Carl has high hopes for his analysis of our world - including the wish for people to let "Reclaim" guide them on a path to a more just, humane, democratic and above all rational system - his philosophy is far from naive. He offers no shortcuts, and no loud rhetoric, but simply presents a method you neither knew you wanted, nor understood you needed. In a world where disasters and crises seem abundant - in an era when the climate starts sending bills, and a handful of people are more wealthy than half of humanity - it is tempting to look for simple answers, for quick fixes. Yet, Carl did the opposite. After years of delving deep into the question of how our world actually works, and what needs doing, he has finally managed to summarize what he found, in "Reclaim". If you are an intelligent and curious person, Carl invites you along a journey. A journey with Carl reading the map, and telling you that we are at a critical crossroads. But if we do the right maneuver today, the best of our civilization might be yet to come. Maybe, just maybe, he will prove to be right.
