Change the World Without Taking Power

Change the World Without Taking Power: The Meaning of Revolution Today is a book by John Holloway first published in 2002.

It looks at the understanding of power as the central focal point of how to effect meaningful change.

Holloway criticises past revolutions as they have simply instituted a different form of authority, of 'power-over', and have therefore not been truly revolutionary in changing the structure of power itself.

He hopes for a revolution that is more anarchic in nature, dissolving such hierarchy and authority to more genuinely empower people and their capacities to do certain things.

Many of these debates were collected by the International Institute for Research and Education in a free booklet.
