Product Description

Product Description

We have a choice: Breakdown or Breakthrough. Revered author and systems theorist Ervin Laszlo provides a concise yet encompassing overview of the present world situation, showing where we are, and how we got here. Where we are, Laszlo tells us, is at a critical juncture in history, a 'decision-window' where we face both the danger of global collapse and the opportunity of worldwide renewal. According to Laszlo we have six to seven years to head off unsustainable trends that would lead to a 'tipping point' beyond which there is no turning back. After this tipping point we either evolve to a safer, more sustainable world, or the social, economic and ecological systems that frame our life break down. This is the Chaos Point, but this need not be the end of the world, only the end of a phase of the world beyond which a new world could dawn. In today's decision-window we have a unique chance of creating that new world and this pioneering book tells us what healing and renewal means, and how each of us can help in achieving it.

5.0 out of 5 stars important and thought-provoking, 23 May 2006
By Charles Anderson (mddx United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This is an important book by Nobel prize nominee Ervin Laszlo. In it he asks us to think about the world we live in - its global problems and issues - environment, population growth, destruction of ecology and farmlands, terrorism and so much else that is happening all around us which most of us are in denial about. Laszlo says we have only a short period to make a difference - and it is up to each one of us to recognise the problems and work together to see what changes we can make while there is still time.

This book will open your eyes - and you will never think about the world we inhabit in the same way ever again.

5.0 out of 5 stars One scenario from this book is coming true as I write., 10 Oct 2008
I read this book two years ago because I had come to similar conclusions about the future of humankind. I fully expect his scenarios to unfold unless we drastically change our ways and do more than tinker at the edges of the massive problems facing us. I was however hoping the first scenario to unfold would not be as soon as it has with the financial crisis in progress as we speak.
