Robinson's "Plan B" for the world: "socialism"
"Or, for those who freak out at that word, like Americans or international capitalist success stories reacting allergically to that word, call it public utility districts."
"The necessities are food, water, shelter, clothing, electricity, health care, and education. All these are human rights, all are public goods, all are never to be subjected to appropriation, exploitation, and profit. It's as simple as that." (409)
"Public utility districts, state-owned (meaning citizen-owned) enterprises, cooperative enterprises, real political representation, and so on."
"The best Plan B will emerge from the multitudes." (411)
