Back to Eden

What if hunger, poverty, homelessness, unaffordable healthcare, failing education, political polarization, corruption, environmental degradation, and economic inequality are not unsolvable problems-but problems humanity has already learned how to solve?

In Back to Eden, author and philosopher HRH Prince Gharios El Chemor presents a compelling, evidence-based case that the greatest barrier to human progress is no longer scientific discovery or technological innovation. The real obstacle is the failure to apply what we already know through coherent institutions, long-term thinking, and effective governance.

Combining insights from economics, political science, psychology, history, complexity science, public policy, and systems thinking, this optimistic yet rigorous book examines proven solutions to many of civilization's most pressing challenges, including:

• Hunger and food waste
• Affordable housing
• Universal healthcare
• Education reform
• Poverty reduction
• Crime prevention
• Drug policy
• Mental health
• Climate change
• Clean energy
• Corruption
• Democratic reform
• Artificial intelligence in governance
• Economic inequality
• Environmental sustainability
• Long-term public policy

Introducing concepts such as the Sovereign Perspective, Coherent Governance, Neo-Holism, Meta-Constructivism, the Triple Accord, and the Neo-Equilibrium Law, the book argues that humanity's future depends not on discovering new solutions, but on implementing the extraordinary knowledge we already possess.

Perfect for readers of Steven Pinker, Hans Rosling, Vaclav Smil, Rutger Bregman, Yuval Noah Harari, Mariana Mazzucato, and those interested in public policy, economics, political philosophy, systems thinking, and the future of civilization.

Previous generations were limited by what they did not know. Ours will be judged by what we knew-and whether we had the courage to act.
