About this audiobook

How can societies change harmful institutions without losing the essential services on which people depend? In this Listener’s Edition, Bichara Sahely explores how protection, political agency, and accountable institutions might develop together. Drawing on financial resolution, energy-supplier administration, Jackson’s drinking-water intervention, and the Montreal Protocol, the paper distinguishes preserving life-enabling functions from preserving the power of their current controllers. It proposes binding transition agreements, examines successor capture and ecological burden displacement, and asks what evidence would support or weaken the framework. A full spoken adaptation of the academic white paper, including its objections, safeguards, and proposed tests. The framework remains a hypothesis for inquiry, not an empirically validated transition formula.
