Product Description
Review
A fact-filled, concise, hard-hitting, highly rational, and much needed analysis of the crises we face, and of the need to both reduce and redistribute global material consumption. --John Perkins, bestselling author of Confessions of an Economic Hit Manand
Speaks seldom-heard truths about economic growth, environmental destruction, poverty, and equity that hold the key to human survival and well-being. An important book. --David Korten, author of The Great Turning:From Empire to Earth Community and When Corporations Rule the World --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
From the Back Cover
The human race faces a completely new challenge: the extraordinary dynamism of our civilization is endangering the biosphere and threatening our common future. We need to find a means of reorienting this human energy and our desire for `progress'.
But the financial elites are obstructing the changes we so urgently need. Having triumphed over communism, the neoliberal ideology they embrace has no purpose but to celebrate itself - its vision of boundless greed is acted out through the wasteful lifestyles of the super-wealthy.
The policies of the rich are not only sinister, actively promoting the reduction of public freedoms, but also blind - they don't understand the explosive power of injustice, and they underestimate the gravity of the poisoning of the biosphere. They are indifferent to the living conditions of the great majority, and to the diminishing chances of survival of future generations.
Kempf sees clearly that we won't resolve the ecological crisis without attacking the social one. They are intimately linked. Today, it is the rich who are the biggest threat to our planet.
