Inhaltsangabe

At a time when global civilization stands at the crossroads comes a book that helps to understand the emerging challenges, from global warming and other environmental issues, global poverty, free trade, foreign debt burdens, and the expanding global economy, to the worsening conditions in many nations. // The book takes a look at the causes of the crises that have developed over centuries, and describes how, even as the miracles of technology have unfolded, the model of progress itself has proven to be disruptive and damaging. The book shares a vision of how we can help re-vitalize and re-direct global society. From environmental rejuvenation to democratic forms of progress, from the reform of the United Nations to greater international democracy, and from solutions to social problems to a new ethics needed for life and the planet, the book lays out interesting possibilities. For those who want things to change, beneficial directions are provided. For others it questions many pre-conceived notions, and provides refreshingly different perspectives.
