Cómo diseñadora me pregunto ¿Diseñamos para las personas o para el mercado? Activism design responde en cierta manera esta pregunta, donde nos hace ver que cómo diseñadores tenemos responsabilidades sociales y ambientales, que estas son dependientes y ninguna es mayor que otra. Por otra parte, también evidencia (más de una vez) que el diseño soluciona, pero estas soluciones no son necesariamente materiales, sino que son también la manera en que como seres sociales podemos existir. Este libro se aprovecha mucho más leyendo "Desarrollo a Escala Humana" de Max-Neef.

I love the subject, premise and intention of this book, and really wanted to enjoy it. There are some interesting parts about historical responsible design movements, and a decent overview of the contemporary scene, but some of the political analysis is so half-baked and naive - and a book on activism really needs to have at least a chapter on activism in the sense of protest and advocacy. Something is clearly wrong when a book on design looks this ugly - clearly no designer was hired for the charts and information graphics.. An odd publication with a lot of potential..
