“Matthew J. Quinn has done the impossible: chartered what it means to govern for genuine sustainability. Drawing on his unique expereince, especially in Wales, this is an object lesson in the changes we must make if we are to save ourselves and the planet for future generations”
Dame Fiona Reynolds, Chair, National Audit Office, England
“Matthew J. Quinn’s research had been at the heart of developing sustainable and democratic governance structures which are vital for securing fairness for all and healthy environments. His book is essential reading for everyone who shares this concern.”
Peter Davies CBE, Trustee, Foundation for Democracy and Sustainable Development
“Matthew Quinn offers hope in civic dialogue as a pathway to deep changes needed to live well with the earth, to transform government itself from controller to enabler and to create a legal framework for a ‘liberated public bureaucracy’.”
