About

Arguing that many traditional forms of action-aid programs, government policies, social interventions-are often ineffective and even socially disruptive, this treatise proposes a movement toward "gentle" actions: those that take into account the fragile ecology of an organization, a city, or a group of people. Whether exploring micro-lending, cattle donations, trade training, or even community gardens, the book provides numerous examples in which knee-jerk reactions can be eschewed in favor of carefully considered and locally sensitive strategies, often to great effect. Each chapter concludes with a series of questions and challenges that encourage the reader to undergo a period of "creative suspension"-a time during which he should resist the temptation of immediate action and instead contemplate the details and complexities of the situation-prior to proceeding.

Sosteniendo que muchas formas tradicionales de acción-programas de ayuda, políticas gubernamentales, intervenciones sociales-son a menudo ineficaces y aún socialmente perjudiciales, este tratado propone un movimiento hacia acciones"suaves": aquellas que tienen en cuenta la ecología frágil de una organización, una ciudad o un grupo de personas. Ya sean la microfinanciación, las donaciones de ganado, el entrenamiento comercial o hasta jardines comunitarios, el libro provee numerosos ejemplos en los cuales las reacciones automáticas pueden ser descartadas a favor de estrategias detenidamente consideradas y localmente sensibles, a menudo con muy buenos resultados. Cada capítulo concluye con una serie de preguntas y retos que animan al lector a someterse a un periodo de "suspensión creativa"-un tiempo durante el cual debería resistir la tentación de la acción inmediata y más bien contemplar los detalles y las complejidades de la situación-antes de proceder.
