{"product_id":"we-need-to-build","title":"We Need To Build","description":"\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003e“You don’t create societies by burning things down, You create societies by building things.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the former faith adviser to President Obama comes a fresh manifesto for those who seek to promote positive change and build a more diverse and just democracy\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe   goal of social change work is not a more ferocious revolution; it is a more   beautiful social order. It is harder to organize a fair trial than it is to   fire up a crowd, more challenging to build a good school than it is to tell   others they are doing education all wrong. But every decent society requires   fair trials and good schools, and that’s just the beginning of the list of   institutions and structures that need to be efficiently created and   effectively run in large-scale diverse democracy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWe Need to Build\u003c\/i\u003e is a call to create those institutions   and a guide for how to run them well.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e In his youth, Eboo Patel was inspired by love-based activists like John   Lewis, Martin Luther King Jr., Badshah Khan, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa,   Dorothy Day, Abraham Joshua Heschel, and Thich Nhat Hanh. Their example, and   a timely challenge to build the change he wanted to see, led to a life   engaged in the particulars of building, nourishing, and sustaining an   institution that seeks to promote positive social change—Interfaith America.   Now, drawing on his twenty years of experience, Patel tells the stories of   what he’s learned and how, in the process, he came to construct as much as   critique and collaborate more than oppose.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e His challenge to us is clear: those of us committed to refounding America   as a just and inclusive democracy need to defeat the things we don’t like by   building the things we do.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57321253273982,"sku":"NW9780807024065","price":21.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780807024065.jpg?v=1778508445","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/we-need-to-build","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
