The Civilisation of Repair: Moving Beyond Crisis to Prevention is a thought-provoking exploration of one of the greatest paradoxes of modern society. Despite unprecedented advances in medicine, technology, and organisational science, human suffering continues to rise. From chronic disease and workplace burnout to mental illness and musculoskeletal disorders, modern civilisation has become remarkably skilled at repairing damage, but far less capable of preventing it.
Drawing on decades of clinical experience as an orthopaedic surgeon and academic, Prof. George Zafiropoulos examines how healthcare systems, businesses, governments, and institutions have evolved into sophisticated "repair systems" that intervene only after people have been harmed. He argues that the true challenge of the twenty-first century is not building better repair methods but redesigning the environments in which people live and work so that damage occurs far less often.
The book integrates medicine, biology, organisational science, psychology, economics, and philosophy to present a new framework focused on Human Sustainability.
This approach emphasises moving from merely responding to crises to proactively identifying risks early, creating healthier systems, and prioritising prevention within modern civilisation.
Rather than asking, "How do we repair people?", this book asks a far more important question:
"How do we build a civilisation in which fewer people need repairing?"
